Putting my roadster together have a Model A Banjo, 8 Leaf Spring and 30 Frame.

No shocks or linkage to the rear. I have the spring mounted but it is 8 leafs as I understand the Roadster should be 7 leafs. Can I remove a leaf or 2, advice on that please.

I realize the rear shocks mount to the outside of the frame. Am I correct in assuming I need the arm that attaches to the shock and a dog bone link to connect from the shock arm to the ball on the rear shock mount?

Thanks, photos appreciated if you have any of the rear shock setup.
