motor mount query

Need another dose of list wisdom.
Car is '86 4kcsq.

Question about passenger side engine mount. Replacement mount form GPR
significantly different in height (I believe more than offsetting pancake
effect on old). Old had a  rubber cone (perhaps heat shield). Question is
new mount didn't come with one. Should I try to reuse the cone even though
that will add more height to mount. Should say that the new mount appears
to be of sturdier stuff - so no need for rubber cone (assuming it's a heat
shield).

Am hoping all will say don't need it as that's the way I put it in this
past weekend, but have been losing sleep about it. Am doing other things
to the car and so am not driving it at the moment.


TIA - jon
