Default Toploader transmission mount

I'm in the process of re-installing everything after a clutch replacement and I'd like to replace my transmission mount. It's been in there a long time and is showing early signs of degradation. The manual says, "use Ford C8ZZ-6068A or its equivalents, Republic or Parts Master 31-2284". I'm not able to find a source for any of these.

I was able to find a mount by Anchor (part #2253) that is compatible in terms of measurement, but I took a look at it locally and its construction quality is not good.

The Anchor brand mount was listed as compatible with a 1968 Mustang/Toploader steup so I looked for other mounts that were also compatible with that setup on the assumption that their measurements would match.

I found Energy Suspension 4.1136 (Energy Suspension 4.1136 Transmission Mount Made by Energy Suspension). Does anybody have any experience with this part? Does it have the same measurements as the OEM mount listed in the ERA manual (bolt spacing/height)?

If not, can somebody point me to a source for the parts listed in the ERA manual...I must be blind.

Thanks.

The C8ZZ mount was replaced by the D0ZZ-6068-B mount and is very common. Used for both manual and automatic trans Mustangs and Fairlanes. There are lots of cheap parts store mounts available however you can get better quality units or poly versions form numerous sources.

For the sake of anybody who finds this thread through the search function in the future, I ended up ordering Prothane 6-6105. It's expensive but it comes with a lifetime warranty and based on it's construction quality they probably don't get many claims. Very solid.

Dimensions are identical to OEM with the exception of its height, which I measure as 1/16" taller, but that may just be due to compression of the used part (and it's not a big deal regardless).
