Slotting Engine Mount Pedestal Holes - Anyone done it?

mpaschettoMember

As many of us are aware, the drivers side ZF mount typically does not sit properly in its saddle.
My car exhibited this problem when I bought it, the previous owner hacked up the rearmost LH rubber bushing to make it fit.
I've installed new motor mounts and ZF bushings as part of an engine R&R, now it's time for reassembly.

Rather than modify the saddle or the ZF bushing, I'm thinking about sliding the engine/transmission forward by 1/8-1/4" or so by slotting the mounting holes in each engine mount pedestal...

Has anyone else tried this?
If so, how was the outcome?

Mike
