    I'm using IE headers on garagistic copy mounts and they dont fit all that well, but they fit. I had to beat the lowest tube in a bit and the downpipe on the rear most header needed to be shortened. It's not pretty but it works.

      I've read yiu need to put a dimple in where the bolt comes up at the mount...as in the clear the mount just fine, but the bolt has clearance issues.

      I'll make it work...thx:)

        To make you feel better, he did say they were copy mounts - the actual Garagistic ones might fit better.

        When I did my swap, I got my mounts from e30.de & they bolted up and sat the engine in the bay perfectly without any issues at all.

        A friend local to me also did the swap but bought e30.de 'copy' mounts because they were cheaper - they didn't fit & had to be modified to work.
