Front Prothane Insert

OK so I bought the Prothane inserts for the front and rear motor mounts on my 1G. I'm concerned about the front one. I've already asked a couple people about this, but wanted to make a thread to get more feedback before I drill things out.

I've attached a picture of the front insert, with the bolt that goes through it in the hole. That seems completely wrong to me, look how much slop is in there. The rear bolt fit very snug. This front one just seems like the hole is twice as large as it's supposed to be.

What has been mentioned was to go get a larger bolt that does fit snug, and in doing that I'd have to enlarge the holes on the bracket that is attached to the block so the larger bolt can fit through those holes as well.

Anyhow, I have searched all the sites I know of, and have not heard one mention of this anywhere. I'm wondering if I somehow received the wrong metal bushing, or just what everyone else with these has done. Leaving it as is just seems like a bad idea to me with all that slop.

Thanks for anyones advice
