Thanks everyone for all of your help. Looks like I will be calling Stipe and John Holland tomorrow and find out what I can do about either a new set, or rebuilds. If that goes nowhere, I will most likely have to decide on what's available from the other vendors.
Now I am wondering about the entire suspension in the front. I took a look at the position of the front axle in comparison to my front apron, and the axle is at about the same level or slightly higher than the apron. Thinking I might need a new spring also. Who knows, if I get to taking everything apart what I will eventually find. So much for the fully restored A. Well I have to admit, the paint and interior look great. Lots of nice black paint on some old parts too.
