WANTED - Sidmore AC Brakes

Post by Retro54 » Tue Sep 26, 2023 3:14 pm

Good day. I missed the opportunity to purchase a set of reproduction AC Brakes from Mr. Sidmore when he was still living. These reproductions were produced by Mr. Sidmore for small drum rears. I am well aware they are currently not available.

This post is to see if anyone has a set of these brakes on the shelf, purchased but not used for a project. I am looking for a complete set. Bonus if you also have the AC pedal, but that would not be a deal breaker for me.

I am well aware of the other options out there, however, these are the brakes I would like to get my proverbial hands on if I can since my father recently installed his set and I like how they work. I'm not in a hurry to get a set and am willing to be patient.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Andy

Larry didn't make large drum brakes, just the small drum.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

You know, I was just hoping back on here to correct myself. Thank you Mark.

Andrew, you made the same mistake as i did. I know a Larry Skidmore in Spokane. He has a couple of very nice T's, and is quite an old car illustrator. I first thought he must have branched out into the brake manufacture but the brakes were made by Larry Sidmore.

Don's brake set might possibly be a set of the outside brakes that were on the market many years ago and made by Jess Bonar (sp) in Florida.

Thank you Don, however I really like the 'look' and operation of the Sidmore castings and brakes.
