Broken U-Bolt bracket

I'm not sure what this part is even called, but checking on LMC, they don't carry it. It's the bracket that holds the U-Bolts onto the leafs. Does anyone know if it's reproduced (and what it's called), or do I need to find a used one? (72 SWB K-10)

As you can see from my lousy photos, mine has a nice crack (I'm hoping this is the reason that the left side of my frame sits about an inch lower then the right)

Re: Broken U-Bolt bracket

Pretty sure those aren't reproduced. A junkyard is probably going to be your best bet. That or become a subscribing member to the board and place your own wanted to buy (WTB) ad.

Re: Broken U-Bolt bracket

Ok, thanks for the quick response. I kind of thought they might no be reproduced. The chances of me finding one in a junk yard here in SW PA are probably slim to none. I'll try a WTB ad. I'm kind of on hold doing anything further to my frame until I get this repaired.

You could switch to round u-bolts and 73-87 plates.
