Hall Pantera sold one that looked somewhat like the cast mount, but as I 
recall it required some extensive modifications to the car, i.e. hacking and 
welding?   I can't remember for sure.

Pantera Performance center offers a very simple kit, consisting of a pair of 
brackets which slip over the four studs for the center mounting brackets for 
the rear sway bar.   You remove the brackets, slip the kit over the studs, then 
reinstall the brackets on top of them.   They then bend around and bolt to 
the transaxle using the three holes on each side, like the later mounts.

Precision Proformance offers a combination sway bar bracket and transmission 
mount, which combines the added function of the trans mount with some very 
nice bling bling.   Unfortunately they don't have a photo of it on their website 
yet.

Other vendors may offer similar solutions, or alternately, might sell one of 
the above kits that they purchase from the vendors listed above.
