Thanks everyone.
I need the car together for saturday. The junkyards in LA are very
different than the ones here in north NJ. GTi/GLi's are very rare.
Anyway, I heard here on the list that the hydraulic mounts were "not
good".(leak and fail easily)
I've found 2 welding places and hope to have this resolved today.
By the way, 1 bolt was gone, 1 was still attached to the block, the
metal sort of tore apart. It caved in the oil filter but it hardly
leaks, used a spare nut/bolt and the jack and drove it home.

Hello Steve
I think that you are just shopping in the wrong places. These
things are very plentiful in DIY junkyards. (Your luck may vary
however, I may have a warped view here in LA,CA). For what it is
worth I use this same mount. And welded on it a bit to slightly
alter the geometry. It'll probably last as long as the car.

The front non-hydraulic mount bracket broke. I haven't been able to
find a replacement (no longer available, convert to hydraulic). Does
anyone know where to find a bracket? I'm going to have it welded. Has
anyone had experience with a welded bracket?
Thanks,
Steve
