Bent Motor Mount?

[TeeWX98GST]

Well I am pulling off my front and rear motor mounts and when i got the front one off and took it inside I noticed that it just doesn't look right to me.. unless its just me. What do you guys think? Is it bent? If so is it reshapeable/re-useable? I was going to put aluminum solid mounts inside it. If the mount is totally non-useable, could I machine an entire new mount out of solid aluminum in the same shape? or just an insert.

PICS

You sure? I swear the steel circle is.. an oval now.

Not the best angle but some reference..

As long as the bolt slides in and out with no looseness, you're fine.

Also, what does it matter if you plan on making it a solid mount? The whole inside (rubber, bolt insert, ring) will come out and be replaced by a solid chunk of aluminum with a hole drilled in the middle for the bolt. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, check out the solid mount thread.
