Brake hardware parts

Does anyone know if the brake star wheel adjusting mechanism for later model cars, say around 1975 or so would work in a 1957 rear end brake setup? I finally got around to rebuilding the brakes on my 57 rearend but I have lost the star wheel adjustment mechanisms and the wheel cylinder push rods.I can't find them new but I can find them for 1975 models.

You can get them from any of the early Ford suppliers like Carpenter and they may be available from any auto supplier.

I checked with just about everyone but Carpenter.I forgot about him. Thanks. I see them listed now.

Can't see any reason why they wouldn't, as long as they're the same length. Are you changing over to self adjusting brakes while you're at it??

Have you tried to see if it would work or not yet ? That would be a really simple way of finding out if it would work or not .
Just a thought !
