Upper rear arms any other options?

Hello everyone hope everyone is keeping well 🙂

Our tourer is due it's not at the end of the month and while working my way through a few other issues, I've come to replace the rear springs and found the spring seats in the rear arms to crumble away so.. new upper rear arms required.

I know dmgrs are now away until the 20th of June, so obtaining their upper rear arms is not an option. We do have my wife's 75 to use thankfully in the mean time but i would prefer to have the tourer in a state where I can use it should the wife's 75 breakdown etc. (Wife is also pregnant so I'd like to minimise the time the tourer is off the road).

Are other arms an option or not? I can wait until dmgrs return on the 20th.

Thanks
Rob
