Default Plate on top of strut mount

Im in desperate need of the metal plate that sits on top of the front strut mounts to prevent the shock nut from pulling through the mount. Im in the military overseas with no access to a dealership. My passenger plate has rusted completly through.....and you guessed it...the nut pulled through the mount. It took 4 hours to get the strut out as the spring was no longer retained. If anyone knows the part number or where I can get these online PLEASE HELP!!

If your in a bind Summit will ship to military overseas addresses (FPO/APO) shipping will about $20 USPS Priority. Trust me man I know your pain, I was stationed in Japan for 10 years and getting stuff from the states was hard.

I have a new mount on the way but the plate (isolator?) is metal and not rubber like the above link shows. Can anyone verify that this is the piece between the strut mount and the strut nut?? THANKS!!

The isolator that I had when I swapped out shocks/springs was rubber... It did have a metal insert in it though. You sure it's not a metal plate wrapped in rubber?
