Default Missing rear armrest bracket from 81 door

Installing panels on project I took over. The rearmost screw bracket on the driver side door is gone supposed to be permanently tack welded in place, not the replaceable middle one. Anyone ever have to deal with this before? Searches always bring up the forward handle screw repai, nothing on this .

I had two 81s, one broke on one of mine,

You might hit up ernie willcox but i doubt anyone sells those, perhaps you could use some metal a cobble one up...
