Milford, you are very correct. As research towards accurate or authentic restorations have been done over the past decade or so, it is realized just how good original Model-A brakes truly were when they are as they came from the factory. To correctly restore a set of brakes to make them "as good as original" is definitely more complicated than most hobbyists thought, -or think. It honestly requires more jigs, fixtures, and tooling to restore them correctly than most hobbyists have access to.
