Though the frame wasn't an exact copy of the earlier frames the early to near mid 1930 frames used the 1929 style emergency brake cross shaft. I know the earlier E brake shaft was used in march of 30 and probably until june when they changed to the round speedometer. The early 30 roadsters used two screws on the lower hinges. My later standard roadster has three screws on the lower hinge and a round speedometer but other than that it is pretty much like the early 30 models
