Hi Jamie

I believe all Rubys were low frame cars with flatter springs and taller torque tube brackets.  The rear dampers were shorter and had longer links fitted.  The longer links ensured that the damper arm was closer to horizontal and provided optimum friction damping.  

Shorter links will fit but, I guess, Austin fitted the long ones for a purpose!  They are not expensive!

Cheers

Howard
