Default 2 piece driveshaft bracket broke. help?

I was driving on a normal day and randomly i herd a bang of some sort come from the rear of my car, i thought it was nothing and i hit something on the road.
Turns out when i herd grinding i knew something was wrong. i managed to get home and look under and there's like a circular bracket that bolts on to the frame of the car. That bracket as such as im going to call it unless otherwise, twisted and looks as though as it sure-come to metal fatigue.

My question is, could i get this part of my driveshaft replaced easily? Or am i in a bit stuck situation? I know i could order a 1 piece driveshaft, but im just hoping i can or if possible could get it replaced or repaired within a week or so.
Just because i have an Autocross race i want to participate in, and im anxious to race haha! plus i miss driving it.

Anyone know how to help?

any 1 piece driveshaft from a 4th gen camaro will fit. if i remember right you have to buy the whole two piece driveshaft to get carrier bearing. call around the local wrecking yards and see if theres any around.

A 3rd gen driveshaft will work too, as long as it came from a 700R4 vintage and newer.

I went around town at my local shops and they said the same thing, from where im at i can't get it locally, but luckily for me i managed to get one junkyard to order me one from a 93-97 Z28. what luck, i don't need to be paying a grand for a brand new one.
So right now im playing the waiting game haha.

And i didn't know a 3rd gen driveshaft could fit as well, with it having it on a 700R4 Trans. Brilliant information, Thanks!
