Have you looked at the illustration of the front axle in the 33-36 parts listing? Though it doesn't show the drag link other than the ball stud, it does show the tie rod end and the internal configuration is very similar. It should be pretty obvious from the parts in hand just how it assembles and they are adjustable within reason. I don't recall if anyone repros the leather dust boot but it's a fun little project to make them if not.

I have that drawing. The drag link configuration is different. There are spacers and springs that hold the ball stud the right distance form inside. Then there has to be some spacers so that the inside nut goes in the right distance. Thank you for the help.

Just guessing, but aren't the spacers used to adjust the overall length between ball studs so that the steering wheel can be centered when the driving wheels are in an exact straight-forward position?

-O-D is correct about the spacer being used for whl adjustment. NO drawing as far as i know. Parts book calls out number and thk of spacers that go in the longer pocket / front. Believe orig spring spec adjustment was to bottom spring out and back off 2,1/2 turns and later changed it to 1,1/2
-BOOT can be had from Classics and Exotics, Troy M
