camber arms...no one makes them anymore

I have been trying to locate a set of rear camber arms for my 1997 E420.

I emailed lensolo, he said that he doesn't make my parcticular set.
I emailed Jeff at speedybenz, he said that he could make them in one week, then never responded back to my second email, although I haven't ordered/paid for them yet.

I've read that speedybenz does great work, but often takes a long time to get back to people.

Has anyone tried making their own, or utilizing offroad parts to create the same result? My tires are worn, I have reconditioned AMG monoblock II's ready to be put on my car, I just need a damm set of rear camber arms...
Anyone else make them out there for under $300 dollars...?

thanks,

Sorry you're having trouble finding camber arms for your car. If you know somebody with a machine shop all they would need to do is make you 2 little inserts for my set to work:



The two little pieces on the right that fit inside the rod end and the hub housing. I can give the exact dimensions to you if you need them.

We're working on it, but its hard because the W211 is very heavy and very powerful so we don't want to take any chances with safety.
