Re: My 1930 Model A
That rear radius rod is for sure early 1928 which had the single brake system . You pulled on the handbrake which set all brakes front and rear .This system was illegal in most of Europe and some USA states as they required a separate emergency brake . This forced Ford to bring out an emergency brake which was separate from the service brake . It is easy for you to install the correct rods ,they come in two styles one has forged ends the other flat steel plate either will work just fine . Early 30 had the forged ends .The radius rods you have are fairly rare and you can easily sell them and buy the correct ones and have enough change over for a visit to Texas Steak House !!!
Looks like you also need an emergency brake carrier ,get ones with the "ears" on .Someone on the Barn will post a pic of the difference . The ones with ears locate the emergency brake band better .
