thanks alot man i want the other mounts aswell......
I'd suggest you make sure those bolts you bought are grade 8.8 or 10.9, you don't want them snapping on you... the upper motor mount takes a lot of force.

nice, very clean engine bay. i love it. u decide on what to do with the ac line? zip tie, or make a bracket... get one off a ford fusion or a eco J?
Just lookin out for ya dude, there are a lot of bolts made to sub par standards... trust I'd know, spent a whole month sourcing hardware for mounts I designed for a $25,000 digital projectors... you don't one of those to fall haha
Like I said though, 8.8 or 10.9 will be good enough, so I wouldn't worry about it if yours are stamped.
