I've seen the Morosos have small mis-alignments, like around 1/16", but with a pry bar, they always go together. If yours aren't Moroso, then they're probably cheap copies from overseas, so I'd toss them in the trash where they belong.

Re: solid motor mount intall problem

The lower silver plated k member mounts are the same, however there are 2 or 3 different upper parts, teh gold plated ones that go on the engine. If you have the wrong ones it will most certainly not work. I have moroso sets on several cars, they were never a prob but I did verify that the ones on my corvettes are different from the ones on the f bodies (vettes do not use the silver plated k member mount) and the 3rd gen mounts are not the same as the 2nd gens if I remember correctly.

check the moroso site, the numbers are on there
