Am I missing something?
The bolt tube for crossmember is 9/16" but the slotted hole on motor mount is only 7/16". That would leave an 1/8" slop. Is there a sleeve that needs to go in the tube? Or do you just crank the bolt up tight?

Re: Am I missing something?
The slop is room for variance. The parts aren't made to aircraft tolerances. Without the slot, and the bigger hole on the frame side mounting a motor in the car would be hell. You're fine.

Re: Am I missing something?
If the tolerances were close enough you could slip a piece of hard plastic tubing in the tube on the crossmember to take up some of the slack but as Tchia65 said they do it that way to give you a bit of wiggle room. When the engine sets down and the bolts/nuts are tight it shouldn't move around.
