Default Re: 1935 Ford Mechanical Brake Parts Availability

ebrocks55, Welcome to the FordBarn Forums!

JM35 and I have recently done some of this brake work on my 35 Fordoor. Replaced cross shaft with one my dear old Dad had fully refurbed a decade ago, all new clevis pins, 100% straight rods without elongated holes.

To answer your original question, get all your parts from thirdgenautomotive.com send PM's to 35Fordtn because he's a member here: https://fordbarn.com/forum/member.php?u=7302

Personally I stay away from most parts that are not real Ford unless it is something like pins that all the old ones are worse than what you've got.

Be prepared for about six to ten brake adjustment sessions before it's 100% dialed in, some with all four wheels in the air. Then again rather frequently as you drive it.

I've still got sessions to complete, checking the shoes, bearings, wedges & rollers. And will likely be installing the equalizers.

This will give any driver much more road-trip confidence!
