That sucks about the mistake, if you have not already try hitting up A&J see if they cen get you the USDM bracket.

ok check it out. you have two options. one, try to get your hands on some jdm engine mounts which are very nice and stiff (the usdm version gets soft mounts for improved ride quality but engine flex is insane!) or call ben at aj racing or edmun at opak racing and see if they will trade you for the right bracket.
imo, the usdm version etd has a better design because the bracket bolts onto the block and not the engine mount. usdm version seems more effective.
