I was changing the bad motor mount in me SE today and the driver side motor mount was broke (image attached below).
Now I am trying to install the newer motor mounts and the drivers side mount doesnt seem to be sitting right. So how are these motor mounts suppose to sit? Both bolts toward the top of the bracket? When you look at the driver side motor mount from underneath the car it looks off set. (Picture attached below)
Dont mind the mess, was due to oil cooler leak from previous owner.


<~~Old Mount

Notice the Gap at the bottom of the mount vs the top... as the torque of the motor gives more, I have a feeling this one will break as well.

<~~Newer Mount

It doesnt look too bad.

There are differences between the left/right, and GSL-SE righthand and 12A righthand motormounts.
You sure you got the right one?
Try rotating it?

Is that a second gen mount? I could almost swear that it is!

The one with the yellow markings is from my other GSLSE...which had a 85 13b in it. Now if the previous owner changed it I dont know. I put the mounts on the exact way they came off the other SE. I did notice one difference from the one I pulled from my car versus the old one, that the two holes in the outer shell were on top of the old one but were on the bottom of the newer one. I know that I can ride on it as it is, but the only reason I am concerned about installing it right would be to get the most life out the mount itself.
let me know your thoughts and will work from there...

thanx
