Can’t tell for sure but it looks like they were on ‘36 spindles. I imagine they were an early, aftermarket hydraulic conversion that was a direct bolt on.
Good catch. Interestingly a Google search shows a Norway based bicycle manufacturer named FARA that uses hydraulic disc brakes. Norway was RHD until 1962 when they switched sides. Coincidence, or ???
Makes those spindles a bit more valuable in the right hands. Now if you only had the steering gear box to go with it. The Wizzard
I will call the guy and see if the box is around, he bought a 40 chassis from another guy and that guy threw the front and rear end under it to roll it around. I bought the front and rear end from him for the wishbone , but had to take everything for , I want it out of my garage price
Right hand drive round spindles good for push pull steering in an early car without using a steering loop or 34 and earlier square spindles. Interesting.
I dont know. I feel like it would be just like using 34 and earlier left hand drive spindles? Except roundback. Interesting to think about. I've never had a set.
You are correct with the exception that you still would need the Bolt on steering loop. Connecting the Drag link as it sounded like you were referring to would not work. No leverage. The Wizzard
Wow. I also found some aluminum backing plates with some early Ford stuff back in 08. Tried to have someone ID them here on the Hamb with no luck. They do look different then yours. Not in very good shape either.
They are a little different , do you still have them ?? Did you ever have spindles for them ? Were they for right hand drive ??
They have to be either after market or later because Henry didn't switch to hydraulic brakes until 1939. If original to that 1936 axle even foreign they would have to be aftermarket.
I believe that they are aftermarket , but from where and who ? I will try a round back spindle in them tomorrow .
Mr. Wood Remover: you have a pair of 1932 license plates listed and told me you would sell them to me. Im unable to get your reply on our conversation thread, so im trying here. Please contact me! Thank you
I've seen some trailer brakes similar to that. I once adapted 12 inch trailer brakes to my '28 Chrysler spindles but they were steel...
