    I have two sets of 32.....how much different are the 33/4's".....in the context of converting them to work a hydralic master cylinder- like Vern Tardel's book....

    Conversion process would be the same...but scope out Klazurfer's Method first on a '32!
    '33-4 (there are several variants) are very much like '32, as forward X is shallower than '35-48 and angle is much like '32. They nearly fit a '32 frame, with one bolt hole actually aligning--the vehicle I checked this on didn't have anything else on it, but I suspect with some corrective bending they could be used on s deuce.
    On a '33-4 frame, I don't think there's a convenient MC location like on a '32, and a much more elaborate bracket will be neeeded.

    Yes, 32 pedals have some bends. But not as much as 33-4's.

    i should have worded that a little differently.....one set is in my hot rod and the other will probably go in to another hot rod....

    thanks for the offer.....never hurts to ask

    True statement - when working on my '34, I abandoned any idea of fabbing a direct-action brake setup. So used the original mechanical gang-lever ***embly to actuate a M/C mounted further to the rear.

    This was, in large, dictated by the crossmember design on the '34.

    EDIT: If I were building a frame from scratch, I would probably be inclined to use an F1/F100 pedal setup - I like the way they bolt up to the crossmember...

    Someone posted a pic on here of a '34 frame with what I think was an Ansen bracket, from the commercial 1950's bolt-in conversion kit...wish I could find that picture. It was clearly a sort of bridge between two frame members.
