34 verses 35 brakes
Hello... and hope you all are well....
What is the actual difference between 34 and 35 front brakes? I want to improve braking on a 30 based speedster but retain mechanical brakes. Thanks |

Re: 34 verses 35 brakes
They ('35 versus '32-'34 front brakes) only share three parts and two of those are fasteners, but whether different is better, that's pretty subjective. Ford turned right around and made further changes in the '36 version, presumably like the '35 changes, to make them better.

Re: 34 verses 35 brakes
'35 brake shoes/ drums are 1 3/4" wide as opposed to the earlier models that were 1 1/2". 35 drums are ribbed, earlier models aren't

Re: 34 verses 35 brakes
Just thinking about upgrading my brakes to hydraulics. Driving it a lot and realizing if you're going drive often and be safe it would make sense. My'35 brakes work well but not good enough for traffic these days. Just saying......

Re: 34 verses 35 brakes
Thanks....got the three most common Brattons, Snyders, Macs....
The last Macs 32 - 48 catalog I had didnt have much mechanical brake parts... I wish I could contact someone who has actually made the swap.... Spindle length is a major concern..... |
