Default Correct mount for hood to close eg/gsr

I bought the car with a pos carbon fiber hood installed on the car and the factory hood. When I install the factory hood on the car the hood will not close.

My car is a 1993 hatch with a 1994 gsr engine and hydraulic ls transmission.

Which mounts do I need?
This thread provide a little bit of info.

Mounts: A combination of stock and integra mounts can be used if a hydraulic B- series tranny is used. on some 96 and up engines you may need to change the bracket under the timing belt and on the rear of the engine for ones of the appropriate year.
These are the mounts on the car now.

passenger side


Drivers side

Your hood latch may be out of adjustment because it shouldn't rub at all.

Where or WHAT is the hood hitting ? those mounts shouldn't raise the engine to the point where the hood can't close.

Those are the correct mounts. Space the engine down with some washers or spacers and remove the studs and use longer bolts. I've run across this before and I don't get it, most of the time the engine doesn't need to be spaced down, but every once in a while you'll have issues with rubbing when doing a GS-R swap

Mine rubs just a little. I am using hasport mounts. I used a bfh and beat part of the skeleton down to make clearance.

Does this help? I pulled a red string taught on the fenders on the highest point of the engine.
