test fitting my rear mount before i put my new engine in (b16) and i see that hasport says to bend teh rear crossmember a little for the rear engine arm (its mount) to hook up to the new hasport mount. i tried putting the two together to see if they sat correct and it seems that nothing is rubbing. do i really have to bend some of the rear crossmember or what?

Yes, I believe it's so the bracket can line up better, everyone that I know with Hasport mounts has done it...

 

okay cool. the instructions with the pictures aren't very clear so ill just go ahead and as but should i just dent it in the size of the rear engine arm width correct? i would assume that you know how stuff goes. also i was looking on another write up and it said to beat out the front crossmembers mount because the hasport mounts don't utilize it to where you can hook it up? did you also have to beat your front mount out? thanks.

 

I don't remember how wide of a bend it was on the rear portion, as for the front I just took off the mount and I cut the bracket off with a sawz-all (reciprocating saw).

 

Bolt the rear hasport mount onto the rear x-member and pound the little lip flat and your good to go. It only takes a minute and only a few MM of clearence is needed.

 

yeah, did it and everything seems to be fine. thanks.
