Just cut the eye along with shock mount off the housing; weld on an appropriately sized piece of DOM, weld the shock mount on; good to go.

Maybe a good time to switch to a bronze bushing too.

The front eyes are narrower than the rear; besides the new ones are cast mystery metal and who would really want to cut up a nice original perch bolt.
