Front Steer Steering Arms?

Has anyone found a source for front steer steering arms that fit a stock C-3 spindle? I have found them for aftermarket spindles that move the lower ball joint from above to below the factory mounting point, but not for the stock spindle. Thanks.

If not I will offer mine but I have to look for them.

I ordered bump steer blocks from Duntov, which I can mount "backwards" (where they move the tie rod end outboard rather than inboard like they are designed to work with the rear steer setup), if that makes sense. That helps correct the Ackerman issue, but the steering arms are a little long for quick steering, and I would like to have a set of steering arms like those from shown below. Unfortunately, the TLZ ones do not have the correct bolt spacing to work on a stock C-3 upright. The second photo shows some steering arms I had custom fabricated for front steer suspension on my '56 Corvette track car that uses AFX uprights. They cost over $1K to fab, and I no longer have access to the fabricator that built them.

Thanks for the pictures. I read the "front steer" words simply as a bit of extra adjectives but you really meant it. Oh well, maybe I'll find them and sell them some day. At least I don't have to look for them right now.
