Anyone have any experience replacing the no-longer available rear uprights on your FF with reproduction Lola, Lotus or Titan uprights?

I wouldn't hesitate to do that if I needed to. I would analyze the change in geometry and make appropriate adjustments to chassis pickup points and suspension arm lengths.

i am sure that there are some reproductions out there, although not for every model
btw how would this work for vintage racers?
I would think that if you kept the car as a donut drive outboard brake model it would still maintain the cars vintage cred. Despite the fact that the uprights came from a different marque.
What is the car you have and what uprights do u want to procure to use to fit to the car?
Is the car pre 72 historic car or later model?
many FFord cars of the mid 70s used similar design uprights so it was easy to swap uprights from 1 marque to another with no major geometry issues
scan, 3D print, check fit, then CNC from billet
