Default Braces rusted thru

I have a 2006 Convertible that has 2 extra stabilizer braces on the rear of the frame. Both are severely damaged from rust. New from Ford are 400.00 +. Each! Was wondering if any after market rear end braces would take the place of these , or if anyone knows another solution other then shelling out 800.00 to Ford. I have already tried junk yards and these are hard to find. Thanks all

I haven't seen any aftermarket parts. I can't remember if it was on here or another site though where someone had a thread about replacing them - and may have found a substitute for less. Try a search here and see if a thread comes up.
