Body mount frame hanger question

I was under the Bronco yesterday making a list of things to buy as far as sheet-metal for the holes in the floor go. I looked at the frame hanger that a body mount sits on under the passenger side door and saw that its hole is much larger than it should be. Has rotted out. So I have to get another. First, where can I get one? Do dealerships even carry these? And if so, once the rivets are ground and pounded out should the new one just be bolted in, or bolted and welded.

i'd go to ford and see how much they charge first! then if you feel it is too much there is no shame in going to a j-yard! i can get you one if you dont find one where you live if you pay shipping its yours

and it is fine using just bolts, thats how mine are held in and never had the first problem!

How I fixed them on a BII was weld 1/4 thick alloy washer on top of the mount and to drill the hole wider to accept the body bolt.

I'm thinking that from his location he won't find good ones in the junkyard. I'd take up Cutts on his offer, don't get much beeter than that.
