Unfortunately it would appear that no-one makes dropped steering arms to fit the Model A Stub axle.
Heating the original steering arms to lower them has the effect of moving the ball joints closer to the axle centre line and that makes fitting the tie rod very difficult.
Bob Drake sells perch bolts that enables you to keep the Model A Brakes with the '32 axle.

Wensum,
Thanks for your knowledge. My A has already received juice brakes.
