Yes, I modified it more by shaving off rest of protrusion so engine bracket would lie flat on mount and rear timing belt cover would not hit on chassis mount for upper dog bone.

Drove car 50 miles today and all is well with new Saab modifed mount and poly bushings in both ends of dog bone upper mount.

I removed upper steel plate that is held on by two small countersunk screws and then sawed/filed rest of protusion flush with top of mount around center bolt hole to try and get front of engine low enough as mount is higher than 164 mount. Later aftermarket Saab mount is solid rubber versus rubber with oil dampening of OEM 164. I think some Saab mount are oil dampened too but also pricey like 164.

Here is mount I remodified as shown at this site http://www.eeuroparts.com
is like one I got from AlfaBill

Here is other mount I have that is in picture that maybe oil filled for earlier Saab 9000 and stud is larger than than 164.
