The one on the right viewing the photo, appears to be 28/29 and the one on the left is 30/31.
This shows them: http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/wishbones.htm |

The one on the left is the later one the other is the earlier one ,they are interchangeable . I do not know the changeover date but would guess 28/29 had the early one and 30/31 the late one . I could not find them in the service bulletins maybe in the Judging Standards .

Mike, i answered this for you on FB.. The one on the left is forged cross rib design from late 29 to EOP, Right side is forged inverted U design from early 28 to late 28, however if the spring perch c shape was increased to 1/2 it was also used from late 28- to early 30

Re: Which radius rod is which?
Thanks to you all for your help. I think it is now clear that the left one is the later one, and the one on the right is the earlier one.

Re: Which radius rod is which?
The early one is on the bottom with a subscript explanation that doesn't pop to the eye easily. I had to do a double take to notice it myself. You have to read the subscript so see what it's all about since the photo seems to be part of the statements above it.
I knew it wasn't for the 32 & later since they are different by a good measure. |
