It should be the same as your tie rod.

There are five parts, a T shaped insert, a spring that fits over the post end of the T, Two clam shell parts and a large screw.

insert the T into the drag link then put the spring over the end.
place the clam shells in and slip them over the ball. Holding everything in place, insert the screw and tighten. If you have a new Jim Carter cat. Look in the mechanical section. There is a picture on page 84. I have a 1935 but I don' have those darn clam shells. I updated to tie rod ends.
