I do believe we are talking about the mount at the firewall.
</p>
<p>
If so: There is a bracket that attaches to the gearbox with 3 bolts of
differing lengths. The engine mount is attached to the subframe brace
and it slides up between the sides of the bracket. The bolt for this
mount has a "pencil tip" end and threads into the bracket.
</p>
<p>
If you're willing to deal with the PITA of trying to slip a bolt
(without the pencil tip) through the hole left by drilling out the
threads in the bracket, there is no reason you cannot use a nut and
washer on the bracket.
</p>
<p>
That said, Wayne is right, there must be so many spares lying around,
just have someone mail you a bracket. Hell, I may even have one in my
garage, but it would take me a year to find it and six months to mail
it.

pretty sure it goes into the transmission. I have been told that you
do not need all the bolts in that mount and some people run without
that very hard to install/remove bolt. I think my problems are related
to the passenger side mount where the metal collar surrounding the
rubber is sliding inside the ring that attaches to the engine. I will
try to install a new ES insert in there tonight.<br><br>Wade<br><br><br>----

I haven't taken one apart in years. I remember the bracket straddles<br>>
the rubber mount, and bolts up to the transmission. Does the bolt going<br>>
through the mount thread into the transmission, or threads on the
bracket?<br>><br>> If it's the bracket that is threaded, replace
