If you find out let me know, I found these on Ebay awhile ago, but they are thin on the ground. They are not OEM, but not a bad reproduction.

My project that rarely gets worked on and has been ongoing... 19's narrowed 7.5" front and 4" rear. Front inner fenders are tubbed. The back goes down with an engine in it to level with the front.
