go to a machine shop they will stamp on out for you. I had the same problem except I had lost my triangle bracket, so I simply cut a piece of sheet steel, marked where the holes were and drilled it. Problem solved.
If you went without the upper bracket theres a possibility of the engine loosening,,,engine plate breaking at the welds and the exhaust loosening up at the headpipe............Thanks a lot for your suggestions guys! I guess I could machine a piece of metal.... I have no welding experience though so that sucks but I can imporvise. And that bracket is very important too right? What would the outcome be if I went without an upper bracket?
in most cases, if you can get a few bolts in it, it will be every bit as strong as a weld, especially if you dont have a good weld...LOL i prefer welding simply because i have the tools and the knowledge, but bolts hold just as good...and if your hole is a touch off, you can ream it bigger....cant do that on a welded piece if its a hair off...LOLThanks a lot for your suggestions guys!

Ied take him up on that offer. I would punch it out on the Vipros with some 12 Ga carbon steel sheet to make it super strong too.If you were to make a cardboard template and mail it to me, I could machine one pretty easily. I own a machine shop full with CNC's and the software to program them.
Be around $40 bucks.
