Try using 3/4" flat stock steel and fabricating it yourself. You can
completely replace all the braces for about 5 bucks and some sweat.Just
that one brace you are looking for costs about 30 bucks or so from the
dealer. As far as I know, there is no after market for that item.
I relaced all mine on the '84. Works great.
