It's disappointing to see that parts are still produced with incorrect details.  For what they are charging for these control arms, making a couple minor changes shouldn't be an issue.


As they are, the rivets would need to be drilled out and installed with correct style and crimped properly.  The rest of the arms should be blasted/tumbled and re-detailed.  Would probably be cheaper than finding an original set to restore.

Great source of information http://anghelrestorations.com/uploads/3/5/1/2/35122002/65_to_73_suspension_guide_v2.4aopt.pdf

I believe the Drake arms are painted to simulate metal so as others have said, there will be some cleanup involved.
