Haven't a drawing or part replacement, but here is a pic of what that front frame mount looks like.

Do you have one on the other side? You might need to make one mirror image of the other. Those are usually ok and attached to the body, so I don't think the vendors have them, but should not be hard to make for someone with the right tools, or possibly remove them from an existing body which is too bad to restore.

I salvaged 1 a few weeks ago when I was making 1 cowl out of parts from about 5. I will go see if I can lay my hands on it and if I can ,just help me out with the shipping.
I found it,it has a cut from the grinder on the side,can be welded up,still very rusty with dirt and the rusty sheet metal still riveted to it.

Here is a much-enlarged shot of the brackets in question. The photos are hampered by a metal channel used to support the body when it was on the rotisserie. The metal channel is marked by the red arrow.
