72 Mustang rear shock mount busted?

What would be the correct way to fix this. I just got the car and saw this. Would welding in a patch and then re drilling the hole be the most efficient way to fix this shock mount ? Thanks in advance.

That's what I did back in the day on my 73 Mach 1, I had air shocks on it and they both ripped the upper mounts. I welded two metal patches one over each of the mounting areas and drilled new holes and it held up well for the four years before I sold the car.

Thanks that is what I think I will do.
