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

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

didn't know that e38 can do burnouts in 2nd gear

just need to find time to start doing something on the car
