Brake rods
 

G’day Model A team. I’m a V8 guy but have a really cool 29 A I’m working on. I may need a lot of help but for now what direction do the brake rod clevises go? Center of car or at the backing plate actuator’s? Or front one way and rear the opposite as they are now. Thanks for your help in advance.
Cheers
Tony

The adjustable clevis attaches to the brake actuating arm on the backing plate, both front and rear

Thanks Keith. Much appreciated.

I believe the adjustable end always goes forward. The fronts are at the arm that goes unto the backing plate, the rears mount to the center shaft cross shaft.

X2 on post 4.

Nope

This is correct, towards the front. I don't believe it would make any difference operation wise, but it would be a bitch to get to if the rear ones were at the backing plate.

Agreed from me - adjustable end towards the front of the car. That is, at the backing plate for the front brakes and at the cross shaft for the rear ones.
