Need Help - Broken Alignment Cam Tab On Shock Tower

[Charlie Brown]

This is what happened when doing a home alignment.
I think I may be in for some major repair here. But before I tear into this repair, I was thinking that there would be solutions out there to help me along. I did install new Moog offset bushings, front and rear, in the control arms. I have a 64 parts car to scavenge if needed.
I was about 2 days from getting this girl back on the road after a winters worth of work. Go figure. I'd appreciate any feedback / solutions.

I think there are only three spot welds holding it in place, if it's still intact, weld it back on. If it's too mangled, drill the spot welds on the parts car and move it to this one. Be sure to have the control arm removed so as not to ruin those new bushings.

Yea bust out the welder and weld one back on. Drill out the spot welds on the tab to 5/16 to 3/8 and plug weld it

I was able to swap out the adjuster plates with a bit of patience. My main concern was the alignment with the matching plate on the other side of the shock tower - if they are not perfectly matched / aligned, I would have issues with the adjusting cams not turning freely. I made a wooden jig to align the two plates. I used a spot weld bit to remove the old plate in my driver and an ordinary bit to remove the plate on the donor car. First photo is the replacement plate. Hope my welds hold up.
