Default Track bar bracket

I have a new stock track bar for the XJ, but haven't found a new stock bracket that bolts on the frame. The tapered hole in the bracket is wallowed out from the track bar being loose. It was that way when I for the Jeep, but it will not tighten enough anymore to stop the slop in the joint.
My last attempt for the new bracket didn't work...discontinued part they said

Any suggestions ? I did think about getting one from a salvage yard, but haven't pursued that yet....

Bill

Hahaha ! Not this old man !! If I had to take the bracket off to machine the tapered hole, I may as well toss it !! Doesn't look like a Morse taper anyway !

I thought there was a company that made heavy duty factory style brackets. I can't seem to find them.
