    Does this bracket look okay to you?

    I got this LX rear motor mount bracket for the ESP motor mount kit. But now I'm worried that its bent and won't fit anymore. Does it look bent to you? The car, 92 LX coupe, was involved in a rollover but the engine bay was intact and all the motor mounts were in unbroken shape. Is it supposed to sit like that on the trans? I still need to get a clutch and flywheel, but one thing at a time right? Here's some pics of it bolted to my M2A4 JDM Prelude Transmission:






    ^^^thats what made me think its bent




    ^^or are they supposed to sit like that? either way I'm sure I can bend it back hopefully

    It looks good. If it is bent it couldn't be much.

        I've seen a accord with the back bracket not bolted to the mount. That bent the shit out of it from getting banged around. I took a hamer and some prybars to it and worked just dandy.

          yeah thats what i was hoping i could do. Just take a 4lb sledge to if it is bent somewhat.

          Okay thanks for your opinions guys!

            To be honest I have no clue if its bent or not. But it seems like It would be pretty difficult to get the bracket to bend like that.
            wat?

              She looks good. If it is bent. You will definitely know it when you go to put the motor and trans into the chassis. If it's off by a c@nt hair you can jimmy it into place with a little bit of persuasion. Be it via hammer or crow bar.

                Looks bent to me.

                Pull it off the tranny and see if there are any signs of metal deformation on the side, where it would have bent.

                  Okay, well I decided it wasn't good enough so I went back to the pick N pull and grabbed another. The pictures tell the whole story. So apparently you can tweak a rear motor mount bracket in a roll over accident

                  I found another 91 LX w/ the head and intake mani already plucked so it was MUCH easier to remove this one than the first bent one. I even got a good condition honda motor mount along w/ it. But that doesn't matter I'm going ESP in the near future.

                  ^^^one I'm putting on my car, no bendage
