Does anyone recognize this NOS Upper A Frame?

#1603060. I have two of them and I can't find them in my Opel parts book.

That's easy, they are Manta/Ascona upper a-arms

These are left hand side a-arms for series 50, sorry didn't see part number in you description

I don't have a parts book in front of me to check numbers, but be aware there is an 'early' and a 'late' upper a-arm. The uppers are about 1/4" longer to correct the negative camber problems that occurred when the stock rubber bushings 'settled'. I seem to recall there was a silent recall in late '73 or '74 for this problem, and the later cars were fitted with them from the factory.

I had almost forgotten about this. I remember being given this information by Tim at Mantapart years ago, in order to get the SCCA legal camber setting I was trying to achieve.

Thanks for helping with these and the brake shoes

Listed in Repair Kit Section 16 00

71-74 Model 50 to Chassis # 9156334 1603060 LH Kit upr control arm
(# 1603061 is RH)

The later Kit is fr. chassis # 9156335 9293049 RH 9293048 LH

So both yours are left hand. The Kadett and GT ones fit both sides but it looks like there are LH and RH ones for Model 50 1900/Manta models.
