Late 28 to mid 29 emergency pawl
I bought an original emergency brake assembly at a swap meet sometime back to use on my mid 29 CCPU. It is the front mounted emergency brake with the push button on the top. I disassembled it to get it replated. When I was getting ready to reassemble it after replating, I noticed something strange. The pawl that goes on the rod is made of 3 pieces riveted together. The pawl is in good condition, so if it is an original part, I would like to use it. I am sure the emergency brake itself is original, but I suppose it could have been modified sometime in the past, like a lot of model A items. I always thought the original emergency brake pawls were made of a single piece of steel. My question is: Did Ford ever use pawls like in the pictures below - made of 3 pieces riveted together?

Only the push button front mounted handle pawl was the only one riveted together. All the others were one piece.
