Restoration question,..shock links

[d.j. moordigian]

These 2 shock links are almost a match. The cotter pin holes are a different
size and the Judging Standards book doesn't say anything about these holes.
Is this just a difference in the vendors too Ford? Yes,..they are both originals.

Thanks,
Dudley

The larger hole definitely looks drilled out larger

Mark,...the Hardware Book shows a cotter " 1/8" X 1-1/4" "...
The large hole link is .155" using gauge pins.
The small hole link is .126", also using gauge pins. At that size, that would
be real tough to get a cotter threw the holes..
