I am pretty sure he knew that was a heim joint. That exact type shown is an aircraft version. Original gt40s used heavy duty high misalighnment and are prety close copy is sold by Lamb Componets in Ca. Original cars have a shank size 1 step bigger than the bolt that goes thru it.
These two places are good, the second is if you want the real deal ("FAA Approval") just be prepared to pay.

Everywhere except the USA perhaps?
I hadn't heard of a Heim Joint called a Rose Joint until about 5 years ago and have been building cars for 30-35 years longer than that...
Rod Ends - yes.
You can purchase Heims from Aurora Bearing or any of their distributors;

Could be, McGillMotorsport on ebay.co.uk has a lot of them in all sizes.

That is a rod end with a bolt and high angle spacers, those parts come separately, the spacers are usually custom made on a lathe.
Here are the spacers: 3/8 " UNF Rose Joint Misalignment, Spacers ; PACK OF 6 on eBay, also Other Performance Parts, Performance Tuning Parts, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 02-Jan-09 14:05:49 GMT)
The other spacer in your photo he doesn't supply exactly the same, so you've to make them on a lathe if you really want the exact same ones.

You will only find that setup sold separately
Art Morrison in the US sells spacers and rod ends but not as good a selection of rod ends as Baker

I think Heim is a manufacture name just like Rose, the technical name for the part is rod end bearing.
The large washer next to the bolt head can be obtained from 303 Stainless Steel 5/8" Safety Washer The referenced safety washer is in stainless, but I'vw also seen them in stamped steel. The safety washer will save you in the event the Heim joint ball or race fails.
