Are you looking for the original engine mounts for a Gen III? If so,
I've got them, but be advised, one is aluminum, and one is steel.
That's the way they are. I guess that they are that way because of
the different stresses due to torque loading. Just a guess,anyone
who thinks otherwise will surely pipe up.
Interested?

Does the exhaust pipe run near by?

It's my guess the steel one is on the turbo/exhaust side. I read Mazda was
fanatical about reducing weight on the 3rd gen. So they probably made the
left side one aluminum just to save some weight.
