Engine Seal holder Tin

Anyoone have access to a junkyard? I need the strip tack welded on the inner
portion of the engine time that holds the engine seal. I am restoring a 70
Ghia and the section of that tin on the left side around to the middle back is
mising or rotted. bug tin is the same. We finally got the paint off and there
is virtually no rust anywhere on the car and what is is surface rust. The
fellow I got the car from had a wheel let loose and go through the left rear
quarter. I have fixed that but still need that piece or pieces that hold the
seal . By the way. If you have aluminum wheels retorque the lug nuts
regularly. Aluminum have a tiny bit of flex steel wheels don't and over a
period of time the lug nuts will back off.

Isn't it fairly easy to make your own? Just a strip of sheetmetal with
the long sides folded over to form the channel.

I found a curtain clip rail that was almost an exact match, and made
mine out of that. Not sure if it is sold anymore, it looked old.

I'm sure my mom won't miss her kitchen curtains
