Ford 501 - 14-340

[FlatFenders]

Picked up one yesterday in very good condition to be used with a Ford 4000 Row Crop.
The manuals I find online say that this application requires both the left and right stabilizers be used.
Mine only has the complete left assembly with the rod and clamp. It also has the cast iron arm on the right but no clamp assembly.
Is this available anywhere or is it safe to use without it? The only parts drawing I can find online show "Welded Assembly" for both the left and right. Mine has cast arms and the one on the left has a "ball mount" style clamp.

The Case NewHolland website lists the parts, but the important part of the right clamp is "OUT OF STOCK." Odds are, permanently. No doubt that even if it were available, the price would be well North of $100. The part that is available lists at $61.75.

I would be tempted to make something.
