Pretty sure Graham Curtis who is making your exhaust repair panel has these done all of the time...so worth contacting him... I had mine done way back in 1986 and honestly can't remember how I did it.
I bought myself a new aftermarket item like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/292633661096
Just out of interest how did you get the ball joint to separate without breaking them? Same system used on my current 1300 and I want to get that re-chromed so the info would come in useful.
Coming apart may be fine, I wonder however how well they'll go together again Oh and BTW, I know where to find the nuts in stainless including the reverse thread one, saves having them chromed and the chrome chipping off the edges where you fit the spanner.
Here. I used to buy all my stainless stuff from him back in the 70-80s, really good stuff as well. Have a good look around, there are lots of goodies on that site.https://www.stainlessmiddleton.co.uk/32930-metric-nuts-full
