Guys,
Here's what I think we have:
Wade's 1101's. One built for export the other for the US market both have the same shock links with compression rubbers and a "U" upper bracket.
Terry's 1103. Built for the US market. Terry's Owner Registry entry cites "Purchased from the states late 2008" and has ball type links.
Tom's 1104. Built for US market. Has compression rubbers but the upper part has NO "U" bracket. Doesn't appear to have ball type links. But the rear shock arms appear very similar to those of Terry's 1103.
I'm learning as I go here about '34 Standard Eights and Super Eights, so bear with me.

Per the parts book:
1100-1101-1102 front link is 202013, rear is 209708.
1103-1104-1105 front link is 98653, and rear is 98652.......
Though there are no pictures, the 1934 Super Eight links have different grommets and cite use of ball nuts. So I'm beginning to suspect the links in question are Super Eight. Easy enough to tell, ask Tom to snap a picture of his. If that is so (and I didn't check the #s) then the 34 Super Eight shocks or at least the arms would also be different to take a tapered shank rather than a rubber grommet with steel sleeve........
From Dave's info all Standard Eights had the same setup by part number. While for the Super Eights all had the same setup but different from the Standard Eight. Although I'm confused by this "
the 1934 Super Eight links have different grommets and cite use of ball nuts" because Tom's pic's appear to show, to my untrained eye, compression rubber type fittings and not ball joints. Is this so? Or have I misidentified the fittings in the pic's? And Tom, thanks for the pic's they are great.
