TT hand brake quadrant?

Post by Steve Jelf » Thu Nov 25, 2021 12:37 am

On a car, 4 rivets = 1924 & earlier; 2 rivets = 25-27. Does this apply to trucks also?

Yes the TT switched over to 2 rivets in 1925. Also for general information, the TT hand brake uses a taller cam lever due to the taller frame if you are looking for a hand brake at a swap meet.

Notice too, the lower photo is an early 1925 frame, using up the last of the 1924 style frames.
