Revington TR in the UK sells a kit with an adjustable top fulcrum:

https://www.revingtontr.com/product/rtr3112k/name/fulcrum-kit-upper-tr2-4

I have no experience with it, but it looks like a bit of a job to install
with some minor welding required and if you have an early car you would
need to change to later (late TR4-TR6) upper wishbones and trunnions.

Cheers,
Mike
