You can make ones by yourself if you're willing to invest 3 to 4 hours more.

I did my mounts in 4 hours, with no problems at all. I took 5mm steel sheet, cut out two plates, one to fit the engine, and the other to fit the rubber mount, then i drilled out the holes, mounted them both, found some piece of scrap metal wich i found laying arround my garage, tackwelded them just to hold them in the exact position as on the car, took whole thing of, did some messuring, and cut a bit of paper traced out the size and shape of metal plates needed to tie those two plates and that's it :D oh yes some cutting with anglegrinder and bending was needed, but the job is just easy to do, compared to the rest troubles you'll accros :)

Jonsku it's on hold at the moment. I've got so many problems in my life at the moment that it's just not possible to do anything. I can't manage to service my truck and i work with him, that's how much f*cked up i'm at the moment. But luckily i've found an engine and it's still in the car (e38 740i 6speed 94') drove it :) it goes like hell :D didn't know that e38 can do burnouts in 2nd gear :D just need to find time to start doing something on the car :)
