I am in the process of switching out the OEM SVT rear strut and spring with the BAT Euro Handling Kit. As part of the build, I also bought replacement upper strut mounts. I already went over this with the BAT representative about which parts I would need, and it looks like I had everything.
This is the BAT upper strut mount:

Now, when I took the OEM strut out, this is what the upper strut mount looks like:

And after some examination, the OEM part is actually 2 pieces:

The factory manual doesn't appear to show the right hand piece in the install guide. The BAT representative, upon questioning says that the BAT parts are 1:1 replacements.
So, my question is: do I need the right hand piece in the last picture to snap into the BAT upper strut mount ?
thanks,
