32/33/34 Parking Brake Levers
I am still trying to locate a parking brake lever for my A bone that I have fit with a 32 K-member. I believe the lever I borrowed from a friend is 32 and want one similar. What kind of differences can be expected between the 32/33/34 levers and will is a BB truck or regular truck lever be different from a passenger car item? I'm hung up by a few small details and need to get moving on this car again. Thank You...

Re: 32/33/34 Parking Brake Levers
The lever itself is the same for '32 and "A." The "A" levers are easily available. (I bought a beautiful replated one at Hershey from a guy in Ohio. He told me that he gobbles them up at the beginning of Hershey for $10 each, replates them and sells them the next year.) I'm not sure if the toothed plate is the same. It might be.
PS: What brakes are you using in the rear? How are you going to hook them up to the lever? (Are you using the '32 cross shaft?)

Re: 32/33/34 Parking Brake Levers
The ratchet (toothed plate) is different. The one pictured is a '32. A Model A ratchet looks like that but flipped over so that the lever sticks up higher. I had a repro Model A lever left over from a previous project, bought a cheap (for '32 parts) '32 handbrake and swapped the '32 ratchet into the new Model A lever.
Nice looking project, what wishbone did you use? And what are you using for a rearend? Happy New Year, Will Kimble |

Oh yeah, '33-34 is a different design... '32 was the last year they mounted the handbrake to the shift tower.

This is an older but accurate photo, I've now added a fuel tank and other items have been completed. Steering key was not installed in the photo. 32/36 front axle 33/34 wishbone (very nicely lengthened) 35/36 rear axle, T spring, lever shocks 32 K-member, pedals (shortened) F1 steering ALL clean old FORD parts… I'm close but at the same time I REALLY need to get my s#*t together and be a bit more pro active in getting going again. |
