Differential Mount insulator Difference

[jas280z]

I have a 3.9 R200 swapped into my 280z (was originally 3.54 R200). I found that under acceleration the prop shaft hits the sway bar. I am going to replace the diff mount insulator, as I read that a worn one can cause the diff to do just this. I noticed that there is one for a 72-78 s30 and a different one for an s130. Am I safe in assuming that the difference is in the cross member that supports the diff and not in the pumpkin? I am fairly certain that the pumpkins are identical between those years. So I think I still need the insulator for an s30, is this correct?

I have one for sale if you need it. I used it for about 1 month before I installed the solid mount from AZC. pm me if you want it.

The differential is mounted in a completely different manner in an S30 compared with an S130.

Thanks Nigel, I should have thought to look at Black Dragon. And thanks for the offer two40zjunky, but I got one from the local Nissan dealer the next day.
