Early 1928 Model A Brake Equalizer Stop Question
I have an early 28 RPU with the combined parking/service brake equalizer system. It does not have the center frame punch outs cut for stops or the bolt on bracket. I am looking for either the dimensions for the frame punch outs to the bolt on stop bracket. Anyone have any info?

I wonder if someone changed the frame or center cross member. All that is needed should be there. I assume your looking for the brackets that the rear bar swings on. I've seen photos of the center cross member but damned if I know where to find them. Those u-joint clam shells that the shafts fit into are getting rare too. This link has some photos of parts.

If you are referring to the service part, A-2476, when you say "bolt on bracket"; that requires drilling the mounting holes. I think it is detailed in the service bulletins or one of the branch Service Letter books. -Tim

This system was problematic for Ford and was not legal in the state of Pennsylvania. Ford finally developed the fully independent emergency brake system in late 1928 to allow sales in all 48 states. |
