No primer (instructions didn't call for it) and not really much profile for it to bite into, just media blasted. I think its not really meant to be used in tension.

Using Subaru STI Group N motor mounts with custom top plates. They're plenty stiff but provide no real forward / back support. That is supposed to be handled by either the front dog bone, the trans mount, or both.
And here is my temporary fix as I need to be ready for the next track event at Watkins Glen in 2 weeks. Who knows, if it holds up well it could be my permanent fix
