I have 5/8" poly bushings in my '74 Roadster which I purchased on ebay. I am not sure of what the name of the seller was as it was over a year ago and I lost the contact info. They are available though. Actually I purchased a full car kit (the sways were extra) but for some reason there were only half the cross member pads needed for a car. I still need to replace them. We left the topmost pads off to replace when I get new ones.

I believe that all of the pads can be replaced but it's kinda tricky. Getting yours hands into the frame with the balance of the suspension parts in place is the hard part.

Yep, that's correct....be careful not to allow the stud to drop down into the crossmember itself.
