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.

And then they added fanatical sheet alumninum heat shield to both FD
engine mounts. They are multiple piece affairs. I know because I
reinstalled two sets of them. I would also include heat shield on any
rx7 engine motor mounts I did after seeing what happens in a car.
