Here is a picture of the mount that I mocked up. A 7/16-14 carriage head bolt goes through the flat washer with a square hole in it that fits the square under the bolt head. Next the bolt goes through the radiator support, through the upper mount, through the frame support, and through a washer into the sleeve. The bolt and sleeve go into the lower mount and through a washer into the nut.
