Need Exhaust Bracket 657783 444-544 1960

Eric, this is that barn-find PV I called you about a while ago. Original owner picked up at the factory and toured Sweden in it then drove it around the U.S. for 17 years, then it sat untouched in a barn after he parked it in 1977.
It is very original, even had the bars for the lay-flat seats option in the trunk, radiator blind in-place (but very rotted), etc.
So long story short I'd love to find a good OEM bracket if possible.
Plan B might be to use a piece of new metal to sort of bridge the gap across the flat so the the pipe would be clamped between the existing round bracket and the new piece, and the original bolts would probably still work to attach that 'sub-assembly' to what remains of the old bracket.
Plan C - someone good with welder (not me) could maybe try to fill new metal into the old bracket - but I'm afraid welding on it might destroy the old metal.
Thanks for looking into it, Eric!
