Help with motor mount replacement

[Mr Flat Six]

I am going to use the image from Pelican Parts to better explain. The bolt I am referencing is the top most bolt in this photo that the blue arrow is pointing towards. I physically have that bolt but it is too short to go through the mount and still thread into the hole. Sorry if I was explaining my situation incorrectly. If possible I was going to leave that upper bolt out but I don't know if that is smart and I don't want to cause damage. I'm also having trouble finding the bolt online to get another one.

I guess since the previous mount withstood time with 3 bolts then this should be fine until you can get a replacement. I'd drive easy though. Do you have a Lowes etc nearby? If so take the bolt that fits and get a stainless metric M8 or M10 bolt of the proper length. I wouldn't worry about exact Porsche replacement for now as just about any Chinese bolt is going to be stronger than the soft aluminum cheese the engine is made from.

Thanks for the help. I'll probably wait to finish up the job until I get the bolt. Hopefully I can find the part at one of the local hardware places.
