Wishbones - where to buy

Hi,
Does anybody know where I can purchase a set of front wishbones as these now appear to have been made obsolete by the usual third party suppliers (QH, Febi etc).
Failing that, do the earlier Granada wishbones fit or even Sierra?
Thanks!

You can still get left hand ones from various places online, but right hand ones are VERY scarce indeed.
I managed to get the last right hand one off (I think) Motor Doctor about 4 years ago for my Dad's 2.0 Ultima, and have only seen a few for about £2/300 each since. With hindsight, I probably should've bought one anyway!
There are some threads on here from several years ago where people were looking into removing the old balljoints and finding a suitable one from another car to press in, though I'm not aware of anybody ever managing to do one.
It's things like this that are likely to see the already dwindling numbers of these cars reduced to nought sadly. There will always be somewhere that can manufacture the part you need, it's just a matter of whether the cost is justifiable.
