I've checked the photos again and I couldn't see the front uprights in any of them, so I think you have to assume they aren't there.

I remember that when I built my Contemporary that the first set up uprights had the steering arms mounted pretty much perpendicular to the upright axis, which caused terrible bump-steer. Contemporary eventually replaced them with units that had the steering arms mounted at more of an angle, which improved matters significantly.

Therefore, I assume that the steering arms aren't simply E-Type items and that some degree of bespoke fabrication is involved. I'm sure Nick or Jeff can shed some light and pont you in the right direction.
