If a replacement was available I would for sure go that route. A machinist I am not and considering the odd angles I'm not confident in my own skills to fabricate one.

I believe if someone could find the actual dimensions for those brackets @Kwickvette will make them no problem.

When mine were that bad, my entire axle housing was about done.

It's not leaking through the steel in the backplate or on the rear sides where the 3rd member is? Or where the other brackets are? Another bad area is the lateral control arm bracket. I seen that rots out and even gear grease leaking there before.

If you are seeing hairline cracks along those upper control arm brackets it maybe better to find a rust free axle housing. Or one in a lot better shape.

That's what I did on 2 rigs so far and working on the 3rd rigs axle housing to replace my winter 5 speed I am slowly working on.

I could slice up my old axle housing and send it to @Kwickvette for all these brackets. However, it's going to be a while yet as am not ready for thr winter 5 speed project for a whole yet.

I didn't even realize people were posting here; no one was really answering me when I asked questions so I kind of gave up posting here

I can make something that isn't available, kind of why these came about.

Just made someone a set for their Sequoia.

Yeah I ordered a set of those but after some more careful analysis I decided to go to a pick and pull and get a whole axle housing and replace that. Not a whole lot more expensive and better peace of mind.
