Re: Brake Conundrum
You will find as many mechanical adherents as hydraulic in every discussion but to answer your original question: If you still have the cross-shaft and all the parts forward of it, you will be able to put mechanicals on the back for less money by shopping carefully. A mix of used parts and new parts will get you there.
I spent a lot of money and time rebuilding my mechanical system, it works well but if I were starting from scratch, I would probably go hydraulic.
You spend much less time once a hydraulic system is in place than you will spend getting a mechanical system balanced front to back and side to side.
The 1935 rear will have bigger diameter drums than the stock Model A had and I think the parking brake is completely different.
