I don't know if these will work on your car, but one of the West Coast Cobra owners just replaced his arms with some from Spohn. Here's a link to his post and photos in the thread: Club Cobra - upper and lower rear trailing arms

Spohn's page on these: Rear Suspension Control Arms | 1972-1976 Ford Torino & Ranchero

An article on Spohn's Del-Sphere pivot joints used in their UCAs and LCAs, also comparing them to other materials. The video on this page shows how they're assembled and adjustable, as well as how they provide 28° of movement - 6° more than offered by spherical rod ends: What is a Del-Sphere pivot joint? :: Spohn Performance | Support Center
