Replacement captive nut for front subframe

Hello - as a long-time reader of the forum, this is my first post. While undertaking an extensive and foolhardy renovation of my mega-mileage, rotten, ex-taxi Expert Eurobus, I've ruined the threads in one of the captive subframe nuts that I chopped out of the chassis, in an attempt to remove the remains of the bolt that was stuck in it. My question is, does anyone have any of these spare or know where I could get one? Alternatively, would anyone know what grade of steel would be needed for a machine shop to make another one from a piece of 10mm plate? The original nuts are grade 10.

I've been working on the project for over a year now. If anyone's interested, I could start another thread with a project log.

That'll be (st)dealers. Any Citroen/Peugeot/Fiat or subsequently Vauxhall/Ford dealers would have blown-up diagrams to order those from
