I am assuming this is off a convertable that done by Autoform? Unfortunately I have never seen a source to buy anything like this. If you can't get one from a wrecked car you might look into having one machined by a machine shop.

If you cant fine one. Weld that one up re-drill the holes and shap the edge as needed.

Could have it done in an hour or so.
