Overall Assessment

The product is appreciated for its quality, enhancing the safety features of vintage vehicles, particularly a 1940 Ford pickup, maintaining an authentic look. However, slight dissatisfaction persists in fitting compatibility with Model 'A's rear axle, requiring significant modifications. Conversely, another user mentioned the product can be adapted to a 1930 Model A Ford with ease. Customers mainly recommend the product for its blend of practicality and preservation of original aesthetics.

Good upgrade for the original 'juice' brakes on my 1948 For.

The product is great. As with the front brakes, modifications to the original spindles had to be made. I expected this, but it adds considerable time to the installation process. Unlike the front brakes the 4 bolts holding the backing plate in place also hold the entire rear suspension in place, so be prepared for that possibility depending upon the vehicle you're working with. The instructions could have been clearer and the black and white photos sucked.

Great safety addition to my 1940 Ford pickup with the old school look.

Contrary to what the previous reviewer stated, these are NOT easily modified to fit an A's rear axle. There is a flat in the backing plate that hits the spring perch. Either the backing plate would have to be extensively cut out -- and I'm not sure the wheel cylinder would then fit -- or the spring perch would have to be significantly ground down, weakening it. Can't see how you can get it to work on an A. I ordered these because the reviewer stated they can easily be modified to fit an A. My bad. I have to send them back on my nickle. In Speedway's defense the catalog does not specifically say they will fit an A -- but it is assumed by where it is located in the catalog.
