The Ford Barn

Yesterday I put my original motor mounts on to replace the floatamotors that were on. I had bought new rubber from Brattons and a bolt set for the frame from Third Gen Automotive (what used to be Roy Nacewicz).

I managed to install everything, but the bratttons rubber was not completely right: the outer plate rubber had ribs to go into the frame holes but those are not right so I shaved them off. Toward the end the nuts were really tight as I was just trying to get enough to get the cotter pin it. That doesn't seem right. Will I have vibration issues when I reinstall my engine?
