My repair piece was around 18 in. long. Drive to you nearest 4x4 shop. Most carry these in stock. This is very common. Mine actually tore pieces out around each bolt. It was very bad. We first took the box off and repaired the holes then put the patch on. I now have a ORD steering brace and AGR box and have hade no problems
