Rear Upper Control Arm

Hello, Has anyone made or have suggestions on how to repair the upper rear control arm mount to the body? Is there any kind of a repair plate available?

Nobody make a repair part. The only option is to remove it from another RX-7 or make your own.

If your parts turn out well, please advertise them here on the forum. More and more "common" auto parts are no longer available for our 1st-gens, and small-batch manufacturers of specialty parts are very sought-after for us.

I will try out making the plates and let you know how it goes.
Thanks
