I think they are custom made mate, my Pug runs the same sort of thing as its a ball joint on the bottom into a stock saph upright.

If their Marcs I would imagine Andrews mate ( Omni tool is it ?? ) probably machined them to his specs.

Ignore the angles that everything is sat at in this pic but these are mine, would effectively be the same setup on the bottom if your using a standard upright.

i suppose i could always do the pinch bolt up & then drill through the bottom of the carrier , if i could not get the pinch bolts .
