Rear upper shock mount replacement

[Robs85cj7]

Hey All,
I have an '85 CJ7 that the PO has welded a length of angle iron between the frame rails in the rear to make up for the fact that there are no factory upper mounts. I'd like to undo this and return it to near factory mounts but am running into problems finding rear mounts. I'm open to ideas for a replacement and can think outside the box. I was thinking the bolt on front upper mounts maybe? Ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Rob in CT

I don't know why they don't offer the rear mount but the front mount is real similar and could be used, possibly with a little fab work if any.

Or heres one that says it's for a Wrangler but it might work as well.

Yea I was thinking about going that route, but time and no working welder (or access to one) kinda hinder that type of bracket. I was brainstorming and what about a slightly shortened front upper mount from a wide axle CJ?

By your own admission, you want it back right, so do it right and find the part. I think I have some rears, and pre 82 fronts in my frame parts bucket. Also, find a welder to weld it on. The kicker is Id want the tub off to have room to weld it in right.
