Rusted out cross brace

Dangit .... rust has taken out my passenger side brake cable, and now my rear cross brace, and my car is only 9 years old. I believe it's part number 53605-47021. Over $200 for a simple steel tube. Fortunately my rusted out passenger side parking brake passed the year inspection since the driver side still holds strong, but this piece failed me instead.

 

I live in upstate NY and bought car used from Vermont, so yes lots of road salt. I tried to car wash after snow, but looks like it didnt help in the end. My experience is Toyota has bad at rust protection in my time up here.

Is there a thread for the other failure? I want to make sure I get the right part.

 

I found the thread. I blasted the bolts with penetrating oil and then tested them after dinner. All 4 bolts broke loose real easy, so I'll just need the overpriced bar and looks like it should take only 15 minutes.

I believe I need 53605-47021, correct?

 

Thanks. I may preemptively get fuel tank straps too. The bolt end on the right strap looked very rusted. I'll look again today before I order parts, but definitely don't want a fuel tank strap to snap for me or future owner.
