body mount repair

[Johan]

Hi,
I'm removing all body mounts in order to lift the body. Most of the birdcage seems to be ok, but the #3 left side body mount area was completely rusted away. Can this piece be purchased separately? I see that Corvette Central has the entire rocker channel with front and rear piece for $224, but I do not need all this.

Photo is from the wheel. There is a hole towards the interior where the light is coming from, and the body mount area is completely gone.

Send a PM I may be able to help.

Found it. Seems that only Zip sells it separately.
Anyone has done this?

Sorry I can't add any help but would be interested in what you find out. Currently I have the body off my frame 1977. It is not as bad as yours but I want to take care of any area the has potiental of failure. Jack

Ok. I will lift the body in the coming weeks.
Just curious, how did you do the body lift?

I have a four post lift. I then purchased a hoist strap Zip Corvette Parts - 1963-1982 Corvette Body Lift Strap Kit and used it with the lift to take get the body off.
