I would suggest that you do the same, weld the mount on the cross member to match the trans pad. My T5 came out of a 92 v8 Camaro. FYI I was able to use a rubber mount from a TH350 on mine, it bolted right on.

This was also an option that I had considered. Thanks for letting me know that it worked! This might be the best way to accomplish this task. Did you have to contour the pad to get it to mount to the tube? I'm thinking that it might be more structurally sound to weld a vertical piece of metal to the tubing, then weld the tab to that piece. Ideas?
I have seen that there are different options for the drop of the crossmembers available 0", 3", and 6". Anyone know how to determine the best and/or right way to get that number?
