oil cooler mount broken, how do i fix this ?

its looks like the oil cooler mount on the driver side is broken the rubber holding it on broke(mount broken in half rubber still on body) and nothing is holding it on other than the mount on the other side, and the cooler line keeping it there in place

how do i fix this ? i dont want to do a hackjob i want it to be something that will work but not make my car look fucked up, i was thinking of using zipties to hold it on but i want a permenant way to fix the problem

the whole bar for my oil cooler that it mounts to rusted on one side causing it to break loose and is hanging kinda. Im going to ghetto it till i can sand down and weld a new pipe on there so it has wayyyy more support. or you can relocate the oil cooler somewheres.

Im pretty sure they sell a kit where u have dual oil coolers, each behind the head lights. Anyone know the site?

You can do what I did and is weld the mount on there. I could stand on the thing if I had to.
