Where can I buy OEM rear tie down hooks

Mazda has discontinued making them and I'm trying to put on a tow strap for aesthetic purposes.
Part Number: FD01-56-252B
If anyone knows where to buy or at least has one to sell or even knows any aftermarket ones that do the same job.
It's supposed to bolt onto the rear left of the subframe near the gas tank and provide a hook that you can attach a tow strap to.

Any help is appreciated.

BC Tie down

My understanding is that those hooks are for tie down(when shipping the car) rather than towing. I've been advised against using the front ones even for pulling the car up onto a flat bed.

The rear point is pretty stout. Every aftermarket rear tow hook I've seen on the market either adds onto the stock bracket or replaces it and uses the same mounting points.

Yeah I'm not using it for towing, just for aesthetics. My girl bought me a takata x speedhunters tow strap and i want to hang it from the rear, but it doesnt come with a mounting braket to go directly to the fd's rear frame. So i need the factory tie down to be attached to the car and then mount the tow strap to that.
