What is the problem with the original set up? Also the plate spring is eliminated. Without the spring the upper plate will vibrate.
For over 60 years I have worked on many Model A’s. One of my pet peeves is all of the home made fixes, custom wiring, short cut repairs and so forth. The customer brings the car to the shop for a repair. Now is it my job to figure out the custom repair someone else made? Absolutely not. I explain to the customer the repair will be done as close to the original standard or I will not do the job. Sometimes an exception is made, but not often.
The Model A is probably the most documented automobiles in the world. We buy an antique, I believe we should keep it that way, allowing for modern safety applications.
