Re: AC Brake parts and MOLDS for sale ESTATE SALE
Here's the FB link to the Estate Sale site, with photos of some of the parts, as explained, the family would like have it continue as a side business to any model T person, like a one-man shop. Price is I think a rather low $15k for all the patterns and inventory worth $30K>. Hope someone goes for it, these are nice brakes.

Re: AC Brake parts and MOLDS for sale ESTATE SALE
I absolutely agree, the brakes Larry was making (RIP, sir!) were first rate and worked. If I were still in the states, I would seriously give consideration to pooling some of my retirement savings and keeping these going... Heck, if I could do it here (can't due to the working while retired provisions of living here) I would be scrambling to find a way... a LOT of countries over here require 2 separate braking systems, so... yeah. 15 grand is CHEAP for all that, PLUS a turnkey business.
I was also thinking... even tho they are, of course, AC brakes designed around a T, I'm not uncertain that they (or a similar design using the AC tooling) couldn't have alternative applications...
I'll just chalk it up to bad timing...
