I know your request is for OEM parts, but using adjustable ones from Spydercars.com or similar allows one to get front end specs exactly dialed in to OEM or whatever spec you are chasing. And they work fine with OEM lower arms.

Or put another way, 50 year old OEM control arms on a 50 year old OEM (or even repro) chassis may not give OEM specs/handling.

Just saw your other post. It appears you may be looking for OEM arms to modify, which is how we did it back when. OEM arms can be expensive or corroded if you find some. Spyder arms have been around enough decades they sometimes come up for sale. FWIW, I've seen +2 upper arms shortened and modded for heim joints used on an Elan. So there are options out there.

R.D. Enterprises has new wishbones made to look the same as the originals. They're fine.

Buying used wishbones leaves you at risk of getting ones where the bush housing has stretched so that the bush doesn't fit tightly and moves. Ask me how I know....

I appreciate the replies, however I'm looking for Qty 2, OEM upper wishbone links. I don't want the spyder or rose joint style adjustable links. I don't see upper standard links on RD, only lower.
They have 26R upper style.
I call RD and see if they can help.
