1932 Brake Housing Plate Centering Bracket question...

[BRENT in 10-uh-C]

Thank you for your advice but honestly, I don't see the logic. What am I missing? Why not repair/restore instead of replacing it with another Plate with potentially the same worn part?? At that point, would we really gain anything?


And for the others, thank you for trying to assist us. For some who are still curious what I am referring to, I have included some pictures. As I commented on above, while the description states they should work, the Model-A units are not exactly the same. We can modify those if need be, but I just wanted to make sure that replacement units for the '32 Plates were not available. I also included the factory drawing of the front Centering Plate that does appear to be the same as the Model-A units.
