Warning about Proparts Sweden lower rear engine mount

I grabbed a Proparts Sweden lower rear engine mount for my '96 CSE. Solid rubber type. Got it installed on the subframe yesterday and when I tried to bolt the engine to it using the original 16mm bolt, it wouldn't bite. Jacked up the engine again, pulled the mount out and found that the threaded hole in the top wasn't threaded correctly. It was much smaller in diameter and not nearly as deep as it should have been. There were some threads near the bottom of the hole, but it definitely wasn't designed to take the original bolt. Luckily I have a metric tap/die set, so I drilled it out and tapped it (10mm 1.5).
So, if you pick one of these up, check it to make sure the bolt fits first. The MTC solid front mount I changed at the same time went in without issue.
