dogbone mount fitting question

[Bunta]

Ive got a 52 reg 172 cup and bought an uprated mount, got round to fitting it today but the problem is my car has the smaller straight mount the same as a ph1 but my car is a ph2... is this renault being cheap and using up left over parts when they moved to the ph2 or has something been changed on the car in the past?
Another thing, the new mount looks like it would fit ok as the gearbox has a threaded hole for it, the only slight problem would be the new mount being longer would have to pass through the u shaped bracket for the old mount, would this cause any issues?

Am I right in saying that the vertical bolt in the above picture goes into the gearbox? If so, it's possible that your gearbox has been replaced in the past with one from a ph1, hence the use of a non-twisted mount.

This is possible, the phase 1 f4r shares the same box as the Cup from memory.

Yes thats what im thinking, my gearbox does have a threaded hole in the right place for the twisted mount though

The top left arrow points to the threaded hole, the other arrow points to the bracket the original mount bolts to
