So what if we get off the "STRAIGHT & NARROW" sometime? This is a "BLOG" isn't it? If this was JUST a reference site for info, specs, etc, HOW BORING!
After all, even back in Chief's era, folks were puttin' hydraulics on stock Model A's! It's just old RETRO stuff.
I've seen Model A's with hydraulic cyls mounted in "stock" backing plates & they left all the external linkages, etc in place to look original. The only "give away" is a skinny, black, barely noticeable brake hose. Takes great talent to do that! SO THERE! Yes, there's B.S, HUMOR, etc here, but that helps us get to know others better & that in turn helps us to help others with their problems or info requests. Bill W. (Lighten up Cochran!)
