If you're unable to locate a replacement arm, we've got hundreds of them lying
around in the UK:) I
had four once upon a time! Your best port of call is one Chris Witor. Looks
like the part you need
is part # 138112 or 138113- according to side if your car's a Mk1 and not one
of the Mk II's
(different #) that have snuck in over the years. Chris has an on-line .pdf
catalogue and price list
and it looks as though one of these arms (used but he will have checked it)
will cost you about
US$30.00 plus freight. His URL is www.chriswitor.com NFI etc
