Can I use the Ted's front parts I used with the original '30 brakes on my car if I change the front brakes to '35 assemblies or are the modified parts different?

You are still better off with just properly rebuilt originals.
That being said, do some research. You will find by late 36 they went to a full floating brakes. If you are going that route might as well get the right stuff. I believe 35 and 36 are basically the same.
You can learn about the evolution of the Ford V8 brakes in the service bulletins. -
Don't the '36 brakes use the wide 5 bolt spacing? Maybe the '35 drums could be used with the '36 backing plates?1930 Sport Coupe, 1965 Lotus ElanComment

Once again, these brakes work !
A vehicle pulled out in front of me and these old Ford brakes were locked up, all 4, at about 30-35 mph.
I haven't touched or looked at these in about 5 or so years except to give them a yearly 'click'.07-04-2021, 09:05 AM -

Our next mission is to inspect the brakes on the car. Can you guys give me any pointers or lead me to a technical thread on this? Also are there any special tools that we’ll need to work on the brakes or pullers to remove the drums?07-06-2019, 03:16 PM -
My 1930 Town sedan was parked for over 9 months. When I got it out to drive, it started right up, but the front end shuttered every time the brakes were applied. I thought some rust had built up. Drove it around for a while, gently riding the brakes and it seemed better. But going down a real steep hill, I applied the brakes and the whole car jumped to the right every time the brakes were applied....08-01-2018, 04:29 PM -
Hello,
I have a 1955 Ford Customline with drum brakes that I have recently had converted to power brakes. After the conversion, the brakes are now very touchy. I barely have to push the pedal and the brakes really take hold. The mechanic that did the work said I should convert to front disc brakes (with a proportioning valve) to alleviate this condition. However, I can't find a conversion...07-15-2020, 12:47 PM -
