Hey Neil, When I replaced my front tranny mount, there was no real gap between the bracket and frame. Is there something on the frame or bracket keeping them apart or maybe a warped bracket? FWIW when my mount failed the rubber surrounding the big bolt was separated from the outer rubber piece. New one went on with no gap.
