Default '90 rear suspension issue

Hi, my first post here.

I have a '90 LX hatch 5.0 that has a destroyed upper right rear control arm mount. I recently heard that some companies make a bolt in replacement for both the upper and lower mounts. I had looked for something like this a few years ago and found nothing and the car has been sitting. I started doing some research again, and found some articles on 'battle boxes' to strengthen the 'torque boxes'.

Is this what I need? I don't have the rear end out yet, but from what I could see I had shattered the actual mount that the bolt in the upper control arm goes through. I was able to remove the upper arm and some of the mount came with it. It seems these kits are more for strengthening the area around the mounts, not replacing a damaged mount, though obviously strengthening it is a good idea. Does anyone make replacement mounts that might be installed in conjunction with the reinforcements? Any mustang suspension experts or companies you could refer me to?

Any help or suggerstion will be greatly appreciated. This baby has been off the road for far too long.

Nobody?

How about this.. Does anyone have a photo of the upper control arm and mount so I can see what the mount is supposed to look like?

Thanks
