Alexis FF Front Upper Ball Joints
Anyone familiar with the Upper A-arm ball joint on my 1968 Russell-Alexis FF? They are weird little buggers.

The uprights are Triumph variety, but the upper ball joints have a weird threaded circular retaining ring on top that holds the unit into the A-arm. It was then Peened into a couple of divots. Sixty years have rendered the rings un-movable. A small cold chisel was tje solution to cut the retaining ring out of the way, but....it is going to take a bearing press, some WD-40 and probably some heat to push the unit down and out of the a-arm. Grrrr.
But the immediate problem is sourcing replacements. Anyone know where to get a couple of these babies?
Thanks,
Bob Alder
