I think you got the mounts used in apx 94 and later vw. I was at vw parts and your discription matches. part 1H0199262B, about 50$ a mount with the word "hyrdo" in it are more expensive, reg $90, but appear to be only used prior to '94. Any idea why vw moved away from what they called a "hdyro mount", to what you have? What you have looks like a pretty easy conversion.
