72 cutlass trunk repair

Hi, woking of restoring a 72 cutlass. Almost done installing a new floor and thinking about doing the trunk next. The braces on the right and left side that the rubber body mount busings go through are rusted pretty bad, as well as the very back brace that runs left and right that the very last bushings go through. Does anybody sell reproduction parts for these or am i stuck trying to weld in patches? Thanks.

Has anyone else had this issue? I have the same question as the original post. I know it's an old thread, However, still relevant.

I ended up going to my local hardware store and purchasing big flat washers that had an ID that was perfect for the body mount bushings. Cut out the rust on the old pieces where it had rusted from the old bushings and welded in the washers. It worked great.
