Would be anyone so kind to measure it for me? Thank you in advance!

You should be clear with 40mm. Depends on the thickness of the bracket you bend. You need to clear the inside isolator and still be able to get the wrench/spanner on the hex.. Watch which aftermarket engine mount kit you buy. Get the right diameter (1-1/8") and check assorted manufacturers for slightly different inserts. Look for the 78-6038 series. Some suppliers sell pairs about $20.00, others sell a single assembly at $16.00.

Petr, Look for the correct truck mount, as michael R says. There are mounts and mounts and I believe some will collapse more than others right from the start. I have found the top hat steel mount, one carrier in New Zealand and one in Western Australia with steel packers underneath. These were both British built, and I think they were there from new, to fix a production error. Both lots of packers being cropped rather than cut from the same round edged stock steel.
I started to repeat what I have already stated further back in this thread, so will stop here.
I am not able to give a measurement, but will in the next 24 hours.
