Default Tie rod ends

Can someone verify for me whether the tie rod ends on my '35 are supposed to have those metal caps over the rubber dirt seal. If so, who has them?

I can't tell from the big green book if they do or don't and of course I don't remember.

Thanks,
Heard

Do the ones Roy sells fit like the originals? The repops that are out there now don't.

If you are trying to be correct and original, be aware that the original tie rod ends and drag link had the zerks on the side, not in the center of the disc, and that the original drag link is one solid piece and is not adjustable.
