Default 997 strut mount fit a 996?

Hi Rennlist. I'm a new member. I've been reading on this forum for a while but only recently become a member. I just bought a used 996 c4 with a bad strut mount. I've found that the 997 c4 strut mount looks very similar to the 996 c4 but with a much better price. Here is a link to the mount. https://www.ecstuning.com/ES1498714/...FQdafgodviYHOA

Do you guys know if this would fit the 996 c4. I've tried searching but cannot find any information on this topic.

Thanks

Is your car a c2 or c4?

c2 but shouldn't matter on NB vehicles when it comes to strut mounts.

There is a difference. Take a look at the pictures of both and you will see.
Here is a c2 mount:

Here is a c4 mount:
