Default Which mounts are these, and which one do I use? HELP PLEASE!

I have a 2000 GSR motor in a 2000 GSR hatch. I have been having some fitment issues with aftermarket components, and one of the things suggested to me was that I am using an incorrect mount/bracket on the rear tranny mount. So, last night I pulled the mount/bracket I had in the car, and when I compared it to the bracket I picked up from a friend (he thinks it's off a 2000 Si), I saw that there is about a 1.5" difference in length between the two mounts. The mounts are exactly the same, and the only difference was between the lengths of the bracket.

The bracket on the left is the new one, and the one on the right is the one I pulled out of my car:



Here is another pic, with the shorter bracket (the one I pulled off the car) on top of the longer one:



Individual pics - here is thebracket that I pulled off the car.



The new bracket (longer one):



Can someone please help me identify these, and let me know which one I should be using with my swap?

TIA

I think any 94+ b-series rear bracket works.

That's what I heard too, but I can't figure out which one of these mounts is the right one to use. Also, I am not sure how the longer bracket will fit into the place of the short one since there is at least 1.5" of difference between the two and the longer bracket would tilt the motor forward a lot and I am not sure how the other mounts are going to accomodate it.

Anyone else?

If your putting that a b18c1 into a EK hatch your going to need 2 things. You need the 99-00 Si rear L-bracket like the one you got from your friend and a 99-00 Si timing belt cover mount. Hope that helps

Just found this page, and it says that the mount I had in the car (the shorter one) is the one off an Si, and the longer one is off an integra:

Also, there is no mention of the timing belt cover mount - is this the bracket that attaches to the motor, or the mount that sits on the frame of the car? I don't have any alignment issues with that one - do you know what's the difference between the two?
