Source for correct 65-66 rear axle housing perches?

I'm working on a '65 GT350 with racing history and had some extra welds made around the rear axle housing perches and other modifications.  I won't be able to grind the areas down and re-weld like original as the perches are damaged too much.  Does anyone know a source for exact replacement perches?  I found Moroso aftermarket, but the shape is different and they're a little more narrow than original.  Maybe the only option is to cut some off a donor housing, like an 8"?

A Currie CE 7000M is the applicable part.
I've bought directly from them as recently as two years ago, but their website doesn't show them.
Perhaps a call (?).

Hi Charles,

Your best bet "... is to cut some off a donor housing, like an 8 inch"  I had to make a repair to a set of perches.  I cut off perches from an 8 inch housing.  My guy said his welds would be much nicer than the OEM.  If you really want the period look, you're going to have to tell your welder to be sloppy.

Here is one on ePay, No. 146422146930.  Kind of expensive, but you can probable do better.  Your competition is others are wanting to convert from 4 lug to 5 lug that are also interested in the same housing.

Please confirm, but I believe the six cylinder rear axle housing has the same perch.  Check this one out, No. 142245508541, for a lot less money.

Best of luck
