Control arms (front and rear), front uprights, Jag differential mounting brackets- but they would have to fit an original style (Cobra Restorers) chassis. I'm not sure the new Kirkham pieces fit the original frames? If they did, is the geometry the same?
Also, gas tank support straps. Any luck?

SOLD! I think we only have one set of these in the scratch and dent department. The $100 is for a set of 3--with the lids. We use Wilwood lids. The original lids dent very quickly and don't really seal the cans very well--so we gave up on them.

I will look for the parts.
Our frame geometry is identical to an original car.

Today was a very busy day. The phone rang and rang and we sold a ton of parts.
I will look tomorrow some more for these parts. Today we sold a lot of original parts. That surprised me. Usually we only sell a few original type suspensions/year.
We do have 2 sets of the Jag differential brackets in stock. They don't have the mounting bushings in them, though that shouldn't be hard to come up with. Retail on the mounts is $395. I'll sell one of the sets for $150.
We might have some gas tank straps. I'll have to check.

These are the latest modification we did to the original style rear lower control arms before we switched entirely to billet suspensions. We replaced the bearing with an adjustable rod end to more easily adjust camber and caster in the rear suspension. Rear caster is adjusted by lengthening and shortening the bushings in the rod end. We replaced the original bearing because it really didn't have enough travel and the bearing beat out over time.
Retail on these 427 Rear lower control arms is $500 each. I will let these go for $350 each.
