I have an aftermarket bumper that lacks the second set of holes for the factory fogs that the OEM bumper has. I planned on removing the vertical bolt on the light brackets and running a bumper bolt through it, letting the light share a mounting point with the bumper. But after a little forum research, being a 97 it doesn't have the removable bolt but rather one that's permanent and integral to the bracket. So I need some way to relocate it. Or create a new bracket.
I grabbed these with a plan to use the innermost hole (low side) to mount to the bumper and outermost (high side) for the light, to replicate something quadratec used to sell. But they're too wide and the rear bumper bolt gets in the way. I don't want to use a washer stack to clear the rear bolt, as it would raise it more than I want.

I don't have a way to fabricate anything so looking for cheap off she shelf options. Some piece of hardware I can grab at home depot etc. That could be relocating the stock light bracket, or recreating the bracket to mount to the bumper bolt directly.
I can't drill a new hole because there isn't enough clearance next to the through-welded D-rings to tighten a bolt from underneath.
Any ideas?
