What is the deal with these Mazda "competition" motor mounts?

Ordered from mazdatrix. How the hell are you suppose to install these? There is no threads on the part where you think there should be. I hope they don't just use gravity to hold the motor. Here is a picture if it helps Attachment 756958

They transmit lots of vibration to the chassis too.

Wish you hadn't replied with the correct advice. We could have really had fun with this one!

"These mounts must be installed with a special polymeric epoxy adhesive, which, when cured, is much stronger than steel fasteners. It was pioneered on the Mazda endurance racers back in the '80s and is in common use on all Mazda Competition engine mounts today. If you didn't order the adhesive along with the mounts, simply contact Mazdatrix, and request the polymeric epoxy engine mount adhesive. If they act like they don't know what you're talking about, demand to speak with Koki -- he has been trained by the factory race team on proper installation procedures and is the only North American technician authorized to distribute this special product. The downside to this process is that the cure time is 72 hours and the price is excessive -- upwards of $50 per mount. BTW -- Koki only works every other Tuesday."

That is a good one! They do transmit more vibration to the dash, but nothing you can't live with in a 30 year old car.
