I would suggest drilling through the mount bar to delete the existing threads, then use the previous nut, bolt and washer arrangement (as in early engine mount bars) to attach to the motor mount.

When I first read your post I "mentally" dismissed you suggestion.

A couple of day later, I received this one from another Pelican (bought as "you never have too much spares if the price is right") and notice how straight the bar was and it trigger my memory that when I drop my engine one end of mine was bent enough that the "hole" actually line up with the side of the bar vice in line dead center. That bend is counter clockwise so it was probably me that did it when I undo the bolt.

Well I guess the "spare" one is going in and will use a counter hold blocker while torquing.
