Went down to Porsche Motorsports,
found out the RSR and GT2 are the same ones. The motor mounts
have a small drain hole by the bolt hole, other then that it's a cast
piece of magnesium,$378.00 for the set and no hardware.
The old motor mounts were shot,one was leaking fluid, movement
was like a joystick controller.

John,
Those sound like the pieces I bought. Have still been too busy (or lazy) to put them in yet. Might make it a weekend project now. I found some hardware in 8.8 hardness. Hope it will be enough as the studs in the mounts no not have any indication of hardness.
Did you buy and install them???

Hello Bob,
Bought the motor mounts and install is fairly easy since the motor and
trans are out. In your case, I would use a jack to support the weight
of the motor and a piece of plywood or 2x4 big enought to fit across the
headers to support the weight of the motor, then slowly jack it up till it feels secure and then loosen the bottom nut on each motor mount, then
the two screws on top and hopefully that's it. New mounts will break before
the bolts will the mount casting looks kind of thin to me. I'm hoping the
motor and trans will get installed by Saturaday.
