1932 brake rods The rods I have (original) have an eye manufactured into them on one end and a threaded end. After looking at numerous parts houses I find the adjustable clevis, pin etc but no rods with the eye manufactured into one end.
ANY IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS???? THANKS!! |
Re: 1932 brake rods Hi Capn John, assuming that it is the rods that need repair,you have three options.
Drill the worn hole to the next oversize and use oversize pins which are available. Weld the worn hole up and re-drill to the pin diameter. Make up new rods from 5/16 rod, re-thread the ends and screw on the clevis ends. There may be an issue with clearance with the front rods to the perch bolt if you choose to replace the clevis ends, the welding or drilling oversize would be better for the front. Good luck with it. |
Re: 1932 brake rods Another lead .... C & G Early Ford Parts ( Google them ) used to carry 32-38 brake rods . I just went on line and they don't list them anymore but the 2011 catalog does . Maybe a call to them will find out if they are available . I have a set of them for sale , but for 35-6 ....? could probably be easily modified . Mick

Re: 1932 brake rods Just go to your nearest steel supplier and ask for ground finish 5/16'' High tensile steel rod, thread each end with 5/16" N.F dies and fit new clevis on each end with a locking nut.

Re: 1932 brake rods Thanks ALL!!
I found model A truck brake rods with the eye. JOBLOT, MAC'S & SNYDERS. A few are longer and as suggested can be cut down. I'll double check with the provides to see about diameter, etc |

Re: 1932 brake rods Obsolete and Classic Auto Parts Inc of Oklahoma City shows '32 brake rods in their catalog. However I'm thinking of forging and threading drill rod for a set.
