 Looks like what I bought from AMK, but a few dollars cheaper.

I remember reading about this some years ago, but found no signs of tape when I removed the subframe from my '69 LA built Camaro. 

Does anyone know if by chance the LA plant in '69 may have removed the tape prior to attaching the subframe?     Good news I was planning on attaching the subframe in the next few days...still time to add the tape.

 I just checked my 04B 67 LOS and there is absolutely no indication of tape.
Unless it was removed prior to installing the chassis, maybe GMAD operated differently?

LLoyd, how much tape do you need?

The body mounts are 2 1/2” in diameter and you want about 1” over on either side so call it 5” per side x 2 sides so 10 inches of tape does it.

Chick I couldn't help but notice the bushing in your photo appears to have the integrated washer which would be the 3928380 instead of the 3901361 bushing or is that camera flash?
Dang it Lloyd now you ruined my new Year..... LOL I'm not sure how that has happened as I'm confident I had all my biscuits and donuts all lined up by part # for the sub-frame as the owner I purchased the car from had already bought them and I checked all those against the AIM but it sure would look like I must have screwed up and will have to examine that.

Hans, none of the factory installed 3901361 bushings I have seen use an integrated washer, it might be a later service replacement bushing that Chick has and, as we have seen frequently, NOS / service replacement and assembly line originals, are often different.

Interesting.  I'll check the originals I removed from the car and confirm.  I installed the older NOS version recently.  I assume you can't remove the integrated washer?

Lloyd, 
   I'm a little confused, are you saying the integrated washer (I assume you mean the metal against the floor) was not on original bushings?

Mike, from my observations, the upper bushing in Position #3 did not have the integrated washer, there was not a metal bushing washer against the floor pan.

Hans, if memory serves, bushings with the integrated washer are of a different design and meant to interlock with the non integrated washer bushings (eg 361 with the 380). I don't think the integrated washer was designed to be removed.
