Tubular torque arm and Poly trans mount install questions! Ok so I installed my energy suspension poly trans mount. I took the mount, put the plate on top (transmission side) have the ENS logo facing the rear of the car. I used the stock mount bolts to bolt it in place.
Now what do you do to bolt your crossmember back through the mount? My mount that came off had a built in bolt that came down through the crossmember, and the ENS mount just has a bolt hole in the middle. 2 bolts were supplied and aren't long enough, so what do you do?
And I got my torque arm almost all the way done, but now I cant get the back end of it onto the rear end housing, it's freakin impossible! I slid the front end into the mount, and am trying to get the rear end onto the housing but no matter how I bend it and work it I can't get it on there. Anyone have a helpful trick or any advice on how to get it on there?

As for the tranny mount, why not just get a bolt (proper grade of course) that's long enough to go through the tranny crossmember and engage the threads inside the mount? Then just torque the bolt down like you would the nut for the stock mount?

That was going to be my next step, but I wasn't sure if there was something else I could do. I'll just make a run to the hardware store 
Thanks for the help guys. The torque arm is a PITA I had to lower the trans to get the bracket out now I'm raising and lowering it trying to get the rear part mounted but it does make more sense to jack the rear.

Got the torque arm on, and got everything buttoned up, about to take it for a drive.
Is this how the trans mount really is? Metal on metal like that? With the metal plate topside and the bottom of the mount (being metal) touching the cross brace?
