Alright everyone, I have decided to change out the motor mounts and go a step further in getting the esmm inserts. The problem I'm having is with the lower passenger side mount. There are no voids in the motor mount so that the esmm insert would sit flush. I need some advice, should I not bother with the esmm insert for that mount or should I attempt to cut some of the esmm insert so it could sit flush.

Here are some pics
this is the mount (aftermarket) as you can see no voids


this next one is the bottom view with the esmm inserted, as can be seen there is a gap


and this last one is with the passenger side (left) and driver (right) next to each other with the esmm inserted into each one. The driver side sits flush while the passenger side you can see it stick out.


now if i do decide to either cut the esmm for the passenger side then i'll have to drill two holes so the zip ties can go through to hold the esmm down.

what do you all suggest?
thanks in advance

 

the thin part of the mount isn't important
if you rip that out, you should be able to use the zip ties

 

if you look at the first picture you can see that the area where there is suppose to be a void isn't thin at all, it's probably 1/2" thick

Edit: if it were like the drive side then I would just rip it out. thank you for responding

 

i just noticed
those mounts look funny compared to mine, i think their voids are different from OEM

 

yeah, i noticed that when i got them bu thy are the same size and fit right i when i was comparing it under the car. For some reason the company decided to fill the void. So should I attempt to cut the esmm or "hollow out" the motor mount?

 

i wouldn't cut the mount. if anything, cut the insert.
really though i would take it back and get one from honda.

 

i'll see if i can return it tomorrow. if not then i'll see if i can sell it and get the one from honda

 

well i'm not going to bother with returning it since there is a 15% re4stocking fee for all return items. oh well
