Engine Mounts (differences)

Hello,

does anyone know if there is a difference between the two sides engine mount wise?

I have 2 driver side mounts (cause the shop made a shipping mistake) and after a visual inspection i can see no difference from the passenger side mounts exept for the imprint (RH and LH) and the colored dots on it (blue on passenger side and whitish on drivers side).

So what is the difference in them?

Can i use the 2 Driver side mounts in my Project car?

Thanks in advance for any help

Greetings
Thomas

As far as im aware, the engine mounts are symetrical for the manual version, i think this may differ for the automatic. When i changed my engine mounts earlier this year i didnt take any notice to which was which, infact i believe i put the RH on the LH side as it was more damaged (oxidised) due to the heat from the exhaust.
