They alway broke because of a bad design and crappy metal. In the 70's you could not even find them in wrecking yards. I made replacements out of 3/16" stock shaped to match. Important is to keep the upper bolt hole for the shock in the same location and plane, parallel to the lowere pivot mount so they do not bind. I don't think just using the frame will give you enough compression length.
