WTB: Original A-C Brakes

Post by namdc3 » Fri Feb 17, 2023 1:25 pm

I would like to buy an original small drum A-C Brake system like shown here. I would settle for the brakes themselves if no one has the rest of the setup for sale. Not taking anything away from the excellent reproductions, but I'd like to find an original set. Thanks!

Thanks, Steve. Those Lockwoods look like a good design, too, per our emails. It looks like they bias a little more forward braking but still have some self-energizing effect in reverse. Still in the market for original A-Cs if they surface!
