right from left motor mounts
In the clarks garage procedure copy and pasted below they talk about right and left. But is that from the front or the back of the car.
The right side motor mount uses two of the M8 x 38 mm bolts and standard thickness washers. The old spacer washers (if your car still has them) are not used with the new style motor mounts. Install the right side mounting bolts and washers.
To determine the correct length bolt for the left side, measure the thickness of the ledge at the bottom of the left-side mounting bracket where the mounting bolt holes penetrate. If the ledge is 21 mm thick, you will need two 8 x M38 mm bolts. If the ledge is 25 mm thick, you will need two M8 x 42 mm bolts. Install the appropriate bolts with washers. The length of the bolts is important because if you use a bolt that is too long it will damage the new motor mount.
