Default Early PT's have different Watt's linkage?

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right section, as it's both a tech question and also suspension related.

The Watt's linkage on my car is shot and needs to be replaced. I looked it up online, and the microfiche looks totally different than what is on my car. On my car it has two tie rod assemblies that hook into the center pivot. The tie rods are "notched" so as to be nonadjustable. The center pivot has two holes for the tie rod ends to go through.

On the microfiche it shows two solid bars vs tie rods. The bars have holes on both ends and the center pivot appears to have two bolts that go through the holes on the bar. Is this an updated design? Do I have to replace the entire assembly instead of just the worn parts?

Thanks,
Ben

Edit: here's the microfiche of the one different than mine: #5, 6, & 7 being the parts mentioned.
