Trailing Arm Crossmember

I Just got finished getting the frame sandblasted and straightened and was about to start painting the underside and I noticed my trailing arm cross member saddles don't look quite right. The one on the left looks to be pushed in with bent metal, and bolts instead of rivets now.

Should i try and build out the difference in spacing with washer or a metal fab'd spacer, or get a new one?

I can't seem to find a stock replacement, Porterbuilt says their carrier bearing model would have to be modified as it wouldn't be at the correct distance.

P.S. it's a '72 Cheyenne SWB with a TH400 and 2 piece drive shaft, not the billet (small) style carrier bearing.

Thoughts? Help with sourcing a replacement?

Thanks!
