I had to call him in New Zealand, actually his son I believe, when emails didn’t work. From there emailing worked and received my kit in the mail in around a week. Cost was less than the webpage to for my 1935 kit.

I used the International number (+6496263141) when emails didn't work.

From then email started working ([email protected]).

Unless they have improved them a lot in the last 15 years, I was not impressed with the kit.

I have a set of the floaters. I sold all of my 33 to 36 models. I no longer have any need for them.
Tim 678-773-5764 text is best. Also [email protected]
Kit fits 32-38 models.

Hi old ford , there must of been something else wrong in your brakes , were the shoes woven ? Were they arc to drums ? All your bushings etc good ? No lie my truck and coupe will lock all 4 wheels.

Just installed them on our ‘35 coupe. No problems with the fronts but the rears couldn’t adjust. Screwed in the adjusters until the end caps got pushed out without getting close to locking the wheels. Has anybody had this issue? I’m back to the OEM adjusters now for the rear.

Snyders sells them in the US. They have a couple of different versions of the kit. They aint cheap.

I believe they will work on all Model A as well as 32-35.
