1934 Buick series 50 brake components

[V.Milke]

Hi guys:

 

I am looking for the brake components for my 1934 Buick series 50 coupe. I am not even sure if they are the same for the rest of the senior series, 60 or 90. 

 

Are they all the same among the senior Buicks? I am guessing not the cables, but the rest... would it be? 

 

The thing is, I have a 1934 Buick series 50 coupe on which, some past owner decided to adapt hydraulics and even discarded the emergency brake hardware, so I am needing the parts to convert it back.

 

Any chance anybody around here may have those parts? 

 

Thanks,

Victor

Have not looked at my parts book, but expect series 50 is not the same as series 60 & 90

Are you going to keep the hydraulics and get the emergency brake going again? {That is what I would do}

Mike,

    If you plan to make this a show car, I understand why you would want to restore the original brake system. 

However, if you want a nice driver, you should consider what 1939 Buick would do & save a bunch of time and $$.

Thank you guys. If I don't locate the components at a reasonable cost, it will have to remain as is, just taking care to make the emergency brake operational.... but I would love to have it as original, even though it will be a user and not a show car.

 

Thanks again!
