Were there any kind of supports on the firewall? If not i wonder how much it flexed when pushing the brake pedal

Yes there was a plate 1/4" by approx 6 X 8. Held in place by 4 1/4" bolts. You can see the pattern in the pic.Comment

Back when those brakes were installed you did what you had to do. On the 32 I had I "butchered" the firewall for two M/cyl's (brake and clutch) then later went back and "re-engineered" it with single dual bowl M/cyl from a chev p/up and Ansen hanging pedals. There was about an 8"X8" 3/8 steel plate to avoid flexing the firewall. Had an Olds engine to a 39 tranny, 11" p/plate with a 10 1/2 disc, 40 Ford rear-end. Later a 4 cyl Pontiac Tempest w 4 bbl carb. Ran almost as good as the Olds.
Lots of different "primitive" things done before 1-800 BUY.

Rescued this one from the "Pinto/Hydraulic Brakes" curse. A very nice car in the 70"s. 15 extra holes in the firewall patched and welded up. Installed rebuilt A engine and all new mechanical brakes.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

I am the new and very,very proud owner of a 1936 Ford 5 window coupe. The car has been built as a street rod with newer v8 and automatic. Car has disc brakes on the front and drums on the rear with 8" Ford rear axle, utilizing a dual master cylinder. My question is: What can I do to improve the stopping power of the brakes? When bleeding the system, it seems that none of the bleeders have...08-20-2017, 03:43 PM -
My question is: How do you have your emergency brake setup if you have hydraulic brakes all around?02-15-2018, 07:53 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

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?10-17-2017, 10:58 PM -
I did a Google search to see what car first used Disc brakes, and I came across this interesting time period chart for brakes.

My mechanic took my Model A for its first drive since replacing the engine. It is a good thing he lives out in the country because he found out the hydraulic brakes weren't working. He got it back to his shop and found out the Master Brake Cylinder need to be replaced. He stated the one on it was from a 1938-39 Lincoln. He stated I have to use the same master cylinder because I guess the present brakes...04-17-2018, 04:27 PM

Has anyone had any experience with MT Bowling brothers brake kits? I drive my car at a steady 55mph, it is very comfortable at that speed and straight as an arrow with the radial tires. I feel that I am out running my brake system. Part of it is age related. When changing from my modern with a very soft pedal to the model A it takes quit some time to mentally adjust Bottom line I just am not comfortable...06-09-2018, 07:53 AM
