Broken Mounting Insulator

[74260ZMan]

So i was replacing the struts and bushings on my late 260Z and i had put the control arms back in and called it a night, well today i walk out into the garage and my left control arm is touching the ground, a quick inspection shows my mounting insulator has separated. My question is can i glue or epoxy the insulator back together. (im a student and dont have a job, and the only replacement i can find is $186) I dont think that it would be a problem since the weight of the car keeps the two pieces together anyways. Your ideas are appreciated

Well, isn't that pooey:angry:

Unfortunately, I don't think a back yard fix is possible.

That item is originally a vulcanised rubber to metal part.

Don't try to use the damaged strut top even if you do manage to glue it with anything:finger:

No option in my opinion, but to get a replacement:rolleyes:

Oh, you might need to seriously think about doing the other side too.

I know you don't want to hear that but...

I've got some used 240Z insulators-depending on you date of manufacture, they could fit.

They are yours for shipping.

Well when I looked up replacements they have two insulators for the rear struts the first are for 70-7/74 and the other ones are from 8/74-78. My Z has a build date of 12/74 so I don't think that the early ones would fit. What do you guys think?
