Default Body mount replacement reinforcement

I just replace the #4 Body mount reinforcement brackets. As you can see, 40 years had put a toll on them. There was not much left and all that was left of the cage nut was the nut.
Does anyone know were I can get the correct cage nut?
Thanks,
Dan


Below, new reinforcement brackets installed:

last summer when we were going a frame swap on a fellow club members '80 we replaced all the body mounts and both #4 mount cages and hardware including the cage nuts.
We got the parts from :

Very nice people to deal with and I'd easily order from them again.
