Just for your information and comments.
In my progress of the farmer restoration of this unit I am using a Bennett hogshead, with the removable side plate. Now that I have the engine in I noticed that there break peddle is shaped at a different angel than the ford factory one. Note the floorboard cut outs that are different. And for some reason ( different year maybe) I had to make an adjustment to the fire wall also to fit the back of the engine. The body is a I believe 21 that I got mostly apart and in need of new wood.

Although I know of them, I have no experience with the Bennett hogshead. But the Bennett brake pedal I now have some experience with. When I installed the Bennett brakes into my boat-tail a few months ago, I also had to make some changes to my floorboards for the pedal to work. The look is different from standard T location. Although I don't think mine is as extreme as yours.
I do like the brakes.
It looks like you are coming along nicely with that project.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2

Yes, I found in my "well organized stash"
there was a pair lurking. Can't remember from where or when they came. I wonder what all is in there. Grin. Thanks for asking.

Bob
