The '88 390 did not come with a rudder indicator, so this isn't a Sea Ray part.
Who made the autopilot or rudder indicator? Perhaps you can source the parts from them.
As an alternative, ball and sockets for custom linkages are common, but the arms would need to be remade from metal. This isn't a particularly difficult task and there is a shop owner in your area who can probably help out. HE is a member here.......you can PM "MasterFab" to see if he is interested in a project like this.

If I'm out beating the bushes trying to drum up business to keep you out of the pool room on these cold winter nights, the least you can do is to be cordial to prospective customers...................
Seriously, the photos look like the parts are made of nylon with nylon ball and sockets. A better choice would be stainless ball/sockets and stainless rod..............you might even get by without LH threads. Oh, I take commissions in
Coke Zeros.

they almost look like the ball and socket joints on my wife's hatchback cylinders.

Saverio,
Frank was saying that YOU should pm Dale to see if he can fabricate something like this. Dale made the custom mounts for my "Dom's Davits" system on my boat. He does high quality work and I'm sure this is well within his wheelhouse.
