The larger diameter compared to side damper tubes gave extra and more consistant damping. Unfortunately I too got rid of mine long ago.
Yes the spring perch at one end and collar at the other which you couldn't tighten too much as it was delrin and would pinch the inner shaft

This could be fixed with aluminum tube and perhaps threaded for adjuster

I think with long set screws and some interesting spacers it could fit all cars

It is just an idea I have that some 12th enthusiasts might find interesting

Still no pics of your serpent Lonny
