I’d replace it and properly attach it. It is missing bolts.

wow didn’t even notice the bolts missing. Is this something that they still make? Or does it have to be aftermarket?

Plenty of good used ones on eBay or parts scrappers. Make sure you get one for a L98.

You can try Mirrock Corvette parts in saltsburg pa. as mentioned eBay has a few.
Then there's this place which I have known about for years but only stopped by Last week because I was passing it, he has about 300 dead Corvette bone yard mostly C3 but probably 75 C4
