Default Rear bumper reinforcement woes

US 1993 Audi 90cs Quattro

Took my rear bumper off to fabricate the trailer hitch and the driver's side was so corroded that the bolt snapped off and when I pulled, the aluminum mount inside the bumper reinforcement also broke right out.

The bolt I can drill out and re-tap the hole, the bracket inside the reinforcement, not so sure.

I noticed that they're riveted in with three large rivets, does anyone happen to have a bumper reinforcement that you can drill out the rivets and send me the mounting brackets?

Has anyone attempted to repair these by cleaning it out and welding in a new piece?

Any guidance would be appreciated as I currently don't have a rear bumper attached.

I have a parts car for a few more days and it still has the rear bumper.
Any chance you can send me a pic of exactly what you need?

Actually, don't need them now.
Found and ordered a whole rear bumper reinforcement with bolts and the damper mounts.
