Front Subframe/Engine Mount Question
I'm finally getting to a point where I can start reassembling my Miata project. My new Innovative polyurathane engine mounts were delivered yesterday and I noticed when I test fitted them that both of the mouting points on my subframe are slotted a opposed to having one with two small holes and one with a slot. I have attached pics for clarity (shiny one is my subframe, the dirty one is an image I grabbed from a google search), but my I'm wondering if this is a safety concern. If I ensure that both mounts are sitting at the bottom of the slot will I be fine? Do I need to switch to AWR mounts with the little "pins" at the top and bottom? I just want to be sure my engine isn't going to move around after I bolt it in as it would defeat the purpose of the pricey engine mounts I chose. Thanks in advance for your guidance.

So I'm guessing I need to source a new one? Also, I painted because the PO had spilled brake fluid on it and most of the factory finish was gone. I knew this build was going to be a challenge, but I didn't expect to find things like this. I've lost count of things I've had to replace due to the negligence or stupidity of the PO.

In all seriousness, it's probably got other issues (bent, etc) that caused the PO to **** with it. Not worth your time to use.
