OEM manual mounts in place of electric mounts

I was wondering if OEM manual mounts (with the brackets) would be a good substitute for the electric mounts. My motor has around 150K and will most probably have it for another 50-75K miles and the price difference between the manual vs electric is almost twice the cost.

I am not inclined to go the polyurethane way since there are idle and vibration issues..

Also would the unconnected electic wires thro any codes?

Super. I will go ahead and order it from DaveB.

I am going to have him measure both the manual and auto brackets so that all the 3 bolts align identically. I hate surprises after bringing down the crossbar frame off the vehicle.

The Poly bushing I have isn't bad (rear) actually, and may be cheaper. Helps throttle tip in Just food for thought.

I recieved my manual mounts with the brackets. Should I expect anything surprising with the installation? Any BKM's would also expedite the work.
