Default Local places to weld something up quick

I've recently found that I busted my passenger side front swaybar mounting bracket. Ive hear these stock brackets like to break a lot in the road racing fbody world, so many people have been buying stock replacements and having them boxed. Would anyone have a recommendation for a good place I can get these boxed up, around the Attleboro,Taunton,Seekonk area? I actually live in Rehoboth, but I figured that no one knows where that is

Would I have to provide the metal side pieces for the boxing or can I just call up and drop the brackets off and have Dez fab them up?

You can order reinforced pieces new from SLP, if you want to go that route. I have 'em on my Z.

Those actually aren't available anymore. I tried looking for them, plus I already have the OEM replacements.

Brian did a really good job on them today. If these things break now I'd be REALLY suprised. Don, could you tell him I said thanks? He wasn't around when I was on my way out.

I'll post some pics up eventually when I get a chance.
