Default rotted body mount

I would like to get opinions on the proper method of repairing the body mount ahead of the left rear wheel and the bottom of the birdcage. Although this car is a '67 I put this question in the C3 section because this is where the answers are.

L71 as we all know this wery common problem among our cars. I suggest that you'd get hold of December 2001 issue of VETTE mag. There is complete story how to make this happen.

Here should also be BEFORE picture of my case:

I have my body off so it was easy to fix. I purchased the cage nut and cage from Zip. Easy enough to cut off and replace. The nut will not spin inside of a new unit. I believe you can buy them in a kit form,rivets,nut and cage or separate. I had 2 rusted frame mounts #1,4 which I had new ones welded on and have to rivet in #4 cage nut assembly as well as the protective mount cover.
