You can get the complete bracket (Moss P/N 855-405) and the reinforcing kit.
You might as well do it right and strengthen the area. This was a weak point
in the early frame design which was reinforced in later years. Also check for
small hairline cracks where the rack and pinion mount to the front lower
suspension mounts. It is held in place by a small tack weld. 10 to 1 says it
is cracked. It would be a good time to add an "L" type bracket that is laid
down next to the rack mount and on the top of the wish bone bracket. Also you
might want to add a 1/8" piece of steel behind each wishbone bracket with the
appropriate holes for the fulcrum bracket. Roger William's book tells more
about these mods.
This might be more than you wanted to hear. It's what I did to mine, but
some people might say I'm a little...uuuhhh what's the word....anal, oh not
that's not right.
