Broken A Arm mount

[ditch1000]

I have a 2013 M8000; and the lower right arm had a lot of slop in it.
I purchased a new bushing to tighten it up; when it went to complete the job and pulled the rubber boot off I found the mount facing the rear of the sled to be broken off and gone. The front mount is still there and is the only thing holding that bolt.
Anyone ever ran into this? If so how did you repair it?
I’m assuming right now, I’ll have to get a piece of aluminum and make a new mount and get it welded in..
Hopefully someone sees this and has another option..

That's what I would do. Unless you are ambitious and want to replace the lower part of the bulkhead.
