Prothane engine mount help?

Exact part I have: http://www.energysuspensionparts.com...&PARTNER=gbase

I seriously have been trying to figure out how to use this damned thing. When looking at the Prothane website, it doesn't show that they currently make an insert for the 7th gen motor mounts. Yet, when you search the part number 8-518, everyone who sells it says it's for the 7th gen. This is getting quite confusing. I only bought it because the radiator mount was bad, and it would save me some cash instead of buying a new mount.

Main problem: I've noticed that the "instructions" on the Prothane website include two parts for motor mounts, and this part number only consists of one part. I'm thinking I'll just put the old mount back together and ride around with a bad mount right now until I can figure this out. Not that hard to pull this again...

Anyone have an answer of some sort? Didn't find anyone mention this yet, so thought I'd ask

EDIT: figured out the issue. IF anyone wants information on it, let me know

for future reference, (or if another mount goes bad..), and you can get by without your civic for a few days, you can always make your own "solid" polyurethane mounts

It's quite straight forward if you have the part in front of you. I'm just such a blonde at times. The picture might help explain a little bit. The picture is of the front/radiator mount. That's the only one I had to fix.
