I'm just a "Shoebox Guy" so my knowledge about this is limited. I've always wondered why the early ('39-'41) brakes weren't considered superior than the later ones ('42-'48). I would think that the adjustable lower anchors would make getting better shoe contact possible, even though it complicates the adjusting procedure.

When I built my first "T" bucket in the '60's I used them for just this reason. (There were lots of parts available back then.)
