Engine mount broken...

Hiiiiii everyone!

I was driving around last night testing out my supercat and there was a 4" split in the road from paved to unpaved I hit it around 55MPH and Fu**ed my car up.

The drivers side motor mount bracket is completely destroyed

A. I need a new one if anyone has a place in mind.

B. Could there have been any internal damage to moving parts from the impact or is all that pretty solid?

C. are there any upgraded solid steel mounts I can get? or would that have to be fabricated.

A --- Dealership
B --- hard to tell, maybe some pictures to start ?
C --- Mazsport used to sell some solid mounts, but some people reported that it crack their frame. not to mention if you have solid mounts there, your engine/car could be totaled.
