Default Re: 35 Front axle

The axle is the same from 1933 to 1936. I left out 1932 as a 32 might have the heavy axle, though some 32s did have the 33-36 axle.

If your spring is mounted in front of the axle, it is probably the correct axle for the car. It looks like someone fitted a good set of 32-34 brakes rather than rebuild the 35 brakes.

If the 32-34 brakes are serviceable, why not just refit them until a set of 35's turn up? What you have will work, and it would be a shame to hold up the project just because they are not exactly right.

Where was your car built? Could it be that the brakes were fitted like that at the factory?
