Antique in Rosemead was one of the earlier vendors along with JC whitney before others hit the scene. They had a bunch of original parts available also, back in the '70's. Imo, the new FAMS made of steel or iron are less prone to fatigue than the alum. The donuts need to be replaced when hard,and adjusted as per many posts on the BARN which can take many tries to suit ones engine. Firm but not rock hard and no donut bulge. The crossmember support is essential to keep the drive line aligned, even on cars with F150 trannies which needs a special yoke at the tranny support..
