early/late wishbone identification
 

I,m rebuilding two front axle assemblies, one for a early 28 and one for a 30.
I have two different wishbone styles. The difference is in the wishbone ball area, one is a U channel where the ball mounts and the other is kind of like a X beam where the ball mounts. I'd like to know which is early and which is late.
Sorry i can't do pictures. Thanks, Bill

I think the U channel is the earlier style.

Yes, the X style is later, and I think the change might be shown in the SERVICE BULLETINS as well as what Vince posted.

Vince, I've been to your site hundreds of times. Someday I'll be smart enough to go there first. Thanks, Bill

Is there any reason why you couldn't or shouldn't swap the two different A wishbones around? I happen to like the looks of the 28-29, and plan to use the one I have on a driver NOT show car chassis I plan to build

Yes, you can use either one for any year, if you don't care to stay correct time wise.
