    have 30 Tudor with 40 Ford juice brakes. I would like to use the model a emergency brake lever. How do I adapt the original A enrage to the 40 Ford brakes. Is there a kit for this. thanks Ron
     
  2. Not knowing either vehicle personally, most cars with juice brakes have a loop of cable , in that loop they have an equalizer that inserts on the cable that needs to be pulled to operate the brake. The older mechanical brakes I think had a rod from the brake lever. I would get under with the loop and rod hooked up and mark and cut the rod, thread it and buy a threaded yoke of that size and put a pin thru the yoke and equalizer. I have done this on a different pair of systems, but you get the parts together you will understand. Hope this helps.
