Yes that's the same one I used as well Alan.  It's a great mount and has the
really nice quality rubber bushings.  I found that my steering was going to
interfere with the mount in the position I had set for the motor, but I was
able to adjust things a couple inches and looks like everything is going to be
interference free.  I have not  put in a steering rod/borgeson joint yet.
Mine mounts were the weld-in model, but I notice there is a bolt-in model in
the catalog.  Top quality parts IMHO.  I also bought their rear leaf
suspension kit.
