No, the new rubber should have the metal sleeves incorporated in it. They're needed to secure the bolts from the front engine mounting plate. If there was no sleeves, the bolts would just squish thru the rubber when tightened. This post has a cross section of the front engine mount.

Actually, it’s a great photo of what is inside the vulcanized rubber. That second photo explains allot. I knew about the sleeves but not the attached plates. Thanks!
