Default Engine mount question - Stretch Bolts, BFI stage 1

I was doing my timing belt replacement - like a good new Audi TT owner...

I replace factory engine mount - with BFI engine mount (Stage 1) - and I was using my new stretch bolts like I was supposed to - and they don't seem to be going all the way down.... so I used old stretch bolts...

So here is the question - keep the old stretch bolts in... try the new stretch bolts from the ECS kit or use the new bolts that were included with the BFI kit?

Let me know your thoughts...

New stretch bolts are mandatory. The old ones being reused can snap off without warning, Depending on which one snaps off, you could have a helluva problem.

Thanks for the advice - I decided to use the BFI bolts - changed out one at a time - tightened up a bit more.
