Motor Mounts

Since its been allmost 2 years since i have taken these off. I forgot if this how they go back in. I have looked in chilton and hanes manuals but they give no real good pictures of them. So today I put them in and got two bolts in both mounts. I have polly bushings in the mounts. So they say I dont have to change them ever again so im thinking of just spot welding all the around the mounts. And not worry about the Third bolt becuaes its a %$$#

The new bushings are hidden by the metal plate.
Never be scared to ask a questions, there will always be someone out there smarter and dumber than you. It is the best way to learn something.
