Front upright balljoints?

I've done a quite comprehensive search, but can't seem to find any details.
Can anyone tell me what the balljoints are from to fit a standard GTD front upright please (part no's would be great, but not essential) I'm dismantling my front wishbones, fitting new bushes and having them shotblasted and powder coated, and even though they seem ok, I thought I'd replace the ball joints as a matter of course.
Thanks
Simon

Granada Mk2 - You can get them from most motor factors, but they are getting harder to find.

Simon,

I think they are also Transit parts. I bought one from Partco.
Product Code: QHNQSJ662S £16.99!

Re: Front upright balljoints?

You may need to get QH (Quentin Hazel) joints as these fit the holes perfectly. Others are bigger and so may require a little work to fit. Only one joint is particular this way and from memory I think it is the top ball joint.
