Hellwig Rear Sway Bar Bracket?

Hi All,
Last time I was under my Excursion I saw that it had what looks like a Hellwig rear sway bar kit on it. However, one of the sway bar brackets was broke. I purchased an OEM bracket for a similar year SD F-250, but it was a little narrow and shallow.

Looking on line I can't seem to find where I can order just the bracket. I have reached out to Hellwig, but I am hoping to get it ordered ASAP so I can install it prior to towing my camper again next Thursday. Anyone have a resource or link where I could get one?

Pics below for reference. The new bracket is the one SD bracket I ordered that didn't fit.

Thanks

I got a hold of Hellwig. They are replacing the bracket for free. Said they would rush ship it so I can get it installed before we leave Thursday.

Pleasantly surprised it was that easy!!

Well nix that. Customer service took over and now they are charging me for the part ($4.29 which is fine).....but they say I am also paying shipping with the cheapest option being $38. Nuts!!

Thanks. That might have been a little easier. I went ahead and made one out of a piece of flat stock I had laying around. Not perfect, but should work for now.
