Default Front shock vs brake rod

A recent post on the Facebook MAFCA page showed a brake rod that has been bent to clear the front shock. Responses all agree that the shock is a later V8 shock, and the solution is to install the correct model A units or friction shocks from Speedway Motors. I have the same issue, but am not inclined to spend the necessary $$ for correct shocks. I have created a functional bend in the rod, but prefer to change shocks. What does anyone say about those friction shocks?
