AA brake rods

Post by ModelAkid »

Neil, your information and photos of the AA brake lever arms is awesome.
Which made me wonder if you might have a list of the lengths of all the various brake rods used in AA's?

I put an article titled "AA Truck Talk - Brake Controls" in the 2015 Double A'er. This article covers the service and emergency brake controls as found in the Ford Parts Price Lists. The article contains a table of brake rods for each of the four brake system designs (D1, D2, D3, and D4). The table includes:
Diameter, Length, Rod Front/Rear configuration (clevis or eye), and spring pocket button location.
Regards, Neil Wilson

Scott, you can get .pdf files of all Double A'er newsletters from the Ford Model AA Truck Club. There is a list of articles at https://aafords.com/c/nl/#ta

The information for ordering is at https://aafords.com/c/nl/#pn. The newsletters are provided on DVD. There is a new method where you can download these newsletters as an option.

Your might be a Ford Model AA Truck Club member. But, the membership file does not have a way to match "handles" from this site.
Regards, Neil Wilson

Okay, Scott LaValley - you are welcome to join the Ford Model AA Truck Club. See Join information at https://aafords.com/c/ms/#j.

To everyone - There is now an option to get the Double A'er as an electronic download starting with 2021. Renewals are $6/year (two year renewals preferred).
