I spoke to Ron today and he will shorten both the control arms to the XKE specifications for $200 + shipping. He also has the correct half-shafts for sale at $250.00 for the l & R pair. Seems like a fair price to me.
Ron is a gentleman to deal with and his work has always exceeded my expectations. He is in California, call him he said he would be happy to take care of you. 805-649-6000 He was one of Carroll Shelby's crew in the hay-day of Cobra racing. Please tell him that Arthur Mitchell referred you.

Hi Arthur,
Thank you so much for the tip. I will certainly give Ron a call and see if we can make it work!
