A little luck has it the RH piece I removed from the truck is probably good.
It wasn't serviced and needs some attention for an outer bend, which looks negligible to me. It has a minor dimple as well, otherwise good.........But I'm still looking for a replacement if one is out there, thanks for the lead.

The set I had polished was something I bought years ago. After polish they tell no lies, the RH side has four small dimples on the very top edge because why? Seems the wrong tool was used to remove it. It also has a small dimple near the lower edge of the top. I messed with that a little with some improvement, though perhaps it's my imagination. Only thing I've been able to come up with is a massage using a tapped up B/A flathead & heat..............
When it's said and done this piece should become available. I can take more pictures, but at the moment I'd like to resolve what I'm using first.

The shop said they couldn't repair the dimples because it's double walled............Hmm!

The LH side of what was polished has one minor dimple, same with the lower, but they're nice.
