Remove the plates behind the mounts and see if it fits. I agree with Mike, with them being bolted to a flat solid piece, I don't see why they're needed.

Thanks for the replies, gents.

I'll take another look at the mount specifically tonight. I think if you remove the plate though, the rubber doesn't really have any damping qualities.

I spoke to S&P this morning and they are shipping me some "regular" or "original" style mounts. He referred to the ones I currently have (the Energy Suspension mounts shown in the pics) as the "heavy duty" type which may be too thick. When I get them, I'll post up some more pics.
