Default 1987 mustang lower control arm bracket

Hi,
working on a 1987 mustang. Mustang has 4:30 gears in rear and 5 speed trans coupled to a hot 302. Just got done installing cage and new control arms top and bottom but the lower control arm mount on frame, the bolt hole is severely egged out. is there an aftermarket bracket that will bolt/weld in or just a weld a big washer on outside of frame bracket?
thanks
ed

Those are the torques boxes right? If so, then you can replace those fairly easily. You should be able to find them on just about any mustang suspension company.

Default lower control arm box

been searching the net for a couple of days now and cant find a replacement lower mount. they make the lower control arm rear mount for the rear end but I cant find the box that is welded to the frame for the front attachment point. cant believe this is the only stang out there with egged out front holes. talked to a body shop and they said weld a big washer on both sides of box. may have to unless someone can point me to a site. thanks again
