If the top mounts were for a different vehicle i'd be very surprised if they could be made to fit at all, it's not like VAG where you can get 4 different mounts off the same reg all with 2mm differences. If those bolts are standard length i'd be getting some longer ones rather than trying to tighten them as hey are - they don't have a lot of thread in the top mounts even without the brace, it'd be very easy to strip the threads out of your nice new top mounts.Thank you very much. Great info.
The reason it's a common mistake is because the bearings come upside down in the box to save on packaging space, they have to be flipped before installation.
