King pin question
 

I asked this over on the HAMB site with no replies so I thought I'd ask here.
I'm rebuilding a 30/31 Model A frame. Just got the frame back from sand blasting and I'm ready to start re-assembly. I'm thinking of going with juice brakes instead of the mechanical. Should I change the king pins to do away with the cup for the brake actuator and if so which king pins will work with a stock Model A axle and spindles? I've read the other threads here about mechanical vs hydraulic brakes and I'm not debating pros or cons just interested in the king pin issue at the moment. Thanks!
Andy

Are you going to adapt the hyd backing plates to the A spindles?? If so I would keep the A king pins. JMO

Basicly you can use any 28-48 kingpins. Most use the 37-41 kingkins for the clean look, others use whatever they can get the cheapest. Rod
