Just got a message back from www.chryslerpartsdirect.com where I gave
them a link to the pics. They responded that I need new mounts.
Guess my memory isn't what it was. Either that or I suffered an optical
delusion.

Will order in new mounts (which by the way are the frame side with isolator)
At least the mount won't have to be ground again to clear the header.

Should have a writeup on the effort eventually. Work is going to have me
away from the Jeep for a week but TurkeyDay is coming up.. 4 days to futz
with the Jeep.
