I would just replace the vertical link assembly. It isn't especially hard to
do unless one of the through bolts is frozen into its bushing. The parts
aren't hard to find. If you can't find one locally, I will send you one for
the cost of postage. I have a pile of them in my parts stash. I think the
parts are identical from the earliest Spitfire and Herald to the last 1500 and
GT6.

Can anyone tell me if the Lower shock mount is replaceable? It looks
like it is held on with a bolt through the vertical link.

Replaceable "separately"? No, as it esssentially is an integral part of
the
vertical link assembly. If it's broken, you need a new vertical link assembly.
If the threads are stripped, you might be able to retap to the next smaller
nut size.
