Topic: '34 Short Brake Spring

  I've been looking for this part and have come up empty in finding replacements. Model A or '39 and beyond.....no problem; part #B-2036 and it's crickets! What do guys with this year car do to replace this part?

The same question goes for the 12 inch drums? What have guys done to find replacement brake drums? 11 inch Model A drums...…. just pick your parts supplier. '40 and beyond.....no issue. What do you do for a Model 40?

  I suspect that Michael Driskell (Third Gen Automotive) has NOS springs. As for 12" drums, lots of used ones, some of which are good or better show up on ebay and the fordbarn.com. Theoy are often discarded when there's a conversion to hydraulic brakes.

  Thank you 3w2. I've bought a couple of other things from 3rd Generation....I'll look again. I've no plans to change to hydraulic brakes, but that seems the easiest way out when original parts are so hard to find.
