Float a Ford Auxilliary Brakes

Post by Manitouc » Tue Jul 22, 2025 11:44 am

I have Float A Ford auxilliary shocks on my 1923 Toring with small drum axles and Ruckstell.
I would like to keep the shocks but install some form of auxilliary brakes. Rocky Mountains will not work.
Like to know if anyone else has done this.

Hi Grant,
Judging from the pics I found of Float-A-Ford's A-C, Stronghold & APCO small drum Auxiliary brakes should fit you may need to remove a little
from the underside where it can't be seen for clearance. The A-Cs I believe are available.

The AC Brakes are available from Bennet Machine in Oklahoma. I got a set from Daniel, great guy to deal with.
