Robert 
I assume your talking about the support  which was fitted to those cars. The
ones on my car are made of 3/4 inch steel tubing , hammered flat on both
ends . the top flat has a hole which the oiler bolt on the top of the king
fits through. the flat is 2 1/2 inches long then the bend and  tube start .
the tube is 14 inches long and ends at the other flat  which bolts to the
top of the chassis rail. That  flat is 1 1/2 inches long and bolts to the
front bolt of the damper blade shim bolt.  The bends are made at the end of
the flats and form a  Z of sorts.

The main differences between  the cars that I have found is  the Aly body
and fenders and the bonnet with a rolled wire rear edge. The car is painted
white and  has little to no signs of a primer under the paint  (???) 
I don't have the engine, trans, dash, rear axle but do have the factory
bucket seats 
( one with a board bottom and one with a spring bottom.
The fenders are in fair shape , the body panels in fair shape and the wood
in bad bad shape .
I doubt I'll ever be able to restore it  since so many parts are missing,
But it was a good purchase for 200 dollars.
Re the photo, sorry no. I've disassembled the car and have it stored in my
attic.
