[Richard in Anaheim CA]

Those are "dog bones" named as such because that is what they look like. They were never installed on Model A's. They will work with modifications as suggested but the original shock links are the tubular shock links which do not have rubber inserts like the dog bones.

The tube links are reproduced and sold by most parts suppliers. They cost more, are more tedious to install but are the correct part and last forever. with a little grease now and then.
