Does it matter if you have a 88pec engine mount on a 86spec?

Default Does it matter if you have a 88pec engine mount on a 86spec?

Hi guys, just a quick one... im about to buy a vibra mount, assumed i wanted the one on the left which is a 86 spec but thought i would compare to mine... and found i have the one on the right (88 spec)
this is because i used the mount off my old 89 xr3i.
Just wanted to make sure that it doesnt matter if you use the newer mounts and their housings on the older cars? It all seemed to fit ok when i fitted everything.
Cheers guys

My thought exactly, iirc 84FB and 89FB are Fiesta parts (MK2 / MK3)
