I need a pinion snuber bracket for my car and one rear bottom out bumper. They both have been missing since I got the car. I have a snuber but no bracket to bolt it to.

Do you have a picture of what you are looking for? I no longer have a solid axle under my car and I may have it in a box in my garage.

No unfortunately I don't know what a pinion snuber bracket looks like. I know its a sheet metal or stamped steel bracket. If you took it off it most likely still has the round rubber snuber bolted to it. The bottom out bumper is a rubber wedge.

I may have left it on the axle and I scrapped that a few months ago.

I believe it bolts to the body above the pinion.

AFAIK the SVO didn't come with a tapered rubber bumper in the center over the pumpkin/rear diff. It used two smaller ones in the frame arch at each end of the axle housing. I distinctly remember the MM Coil-Over instructions indicating to remove those when installing the smaller bump stops onto the shock shafts.

I am missing that also on the one side. Not going coil over but should I put bump stops on the shock and remove the factory one I have left? Maybe that's why the side that has it is always bottoming? Makes a hell of a firm sway bar turning left if that's the case.

I shall look on the car again to see if I left them there, or if they are in one of my boxes of extra stuff.

I agree with Mike, the SVO didn't come with a pinion snubber, but had the bump stops as pictured. The snubber is to control axle wind-up. The bump stops pictured above prevent the axle to body collision. When I got my first set of Eibachs, they came with the shorter snubber. I just threw it away.

Use google image for info on the snubber mount for fox body GTs.

Still looking for one bump stop then.
