FINALLY got the damn swingarm pivot bearing races out, with much blood, sweat, and beers. Last thing I need to fix before sending the frame off for powder is the airbox mounting tab. I don't have the part that broke off. Anyone have ideas?

Wish I had a parts bike/frame to source one from. If anyone does, I'd like to work something out.

I cut those very tabs off my frame a few years ago when I replaced the airbox with a TRX250R unit, and it just so happens that I saved them. Unfortunately, I also cut a portion of the tubing off of both tabs, because I needed that for the new airbox mounts. New tubing can be added, but it will be a little more work. Here's a pic of what I have. There yours if you want them.
