Thanks gzig. That kind of makes sense why the design was changed.

I had mine marked to cut them down, but opted to buy a new set when I found a "made in India" sticker. These mounts have been in the car a couple of decades so I bought a set of Mighty Mounts to replace them. I then decided not to go through the effort to cut these and just replace them. The MM's do not have the excess steel beyond the rubber mounts which should make the pan mounting bolts easier to access.

Thank you again for the info!
