It'll have to have a shim that way. The crossmember sits between the 2 rubber pieces. I'm pretty sure I read that the holes are bigger in the frame with my setup. I'll have to have a pretty good sized washer.
The holes in my frame are a lot bigger than 3/8. The metal sleeves slide into the holes on the frame and the bolts thread into the sleeves. The heads on the bolts are 15mm. I'm not sure what size bolt that would be.
for a 15 mm bolt head which has a 10 mm thread so a 7/16 thread is close to it which would have a 5/8 hex head.
Maybe only the high trim level cars were built that way? I would put it back together as designed, but that's just my opinion. There is a used one on ebay. Not a good deal in my view. You are welcome to my old ones. I will need to dig them out and see how they look.

$34 😵........why not get two pieces of rubber and an aluminum plate to cover the top piece, two holes in the aluminum plate and rubber isolators and use bolts and nuts
I don't think my car ever had those isolator pads. Perhaps if it did, they were lost during a transmission swap, or rebuild.
I'll have to check it out tonight after work and see what looks like the best way to do this. The thing I love about the bushings is that there is no nut to hold. You just put the sleeve in and tighten the bolts. It's really easy.
I have a cordless impact and it just takes a box wrench up on top and the impact to remove and install the bolts in seconds
