Does anyone know what the quality and accuracy is of the Brookville rubber-covered 1932 running boards? They look like they're probably pretty good, although I've never thoroughly inspected originals that are still in good shape.

Can't comment on the Brookville boards, but I do know that the Bob Drake '32 boards are an excellent reproduction.
 
'32 Drake boards are no longer available from Drake, only from Drake dealers with an inventory.
 
Call around to the various V-8 parts suppliers as someone may have a pair in stock. it might be possible that Brookville is using the same supplier that Drake used. Call them and ask. There is also a pair of Drake boards for sale in the swap section of this site. They are new in the box. There are also two listings for the original V-8 Shop boards. I used them on one of my 32's and they were great quality. As I recall I had to slightly oval the holes on the mounting brackets to get the correct fit against the frame rails. At the time they were the only boards available.

I know Matt at Seattle Speed Shop still had a couple pairs of V8 Shop 32 boards not too long ago when I picked up a set from him. They had been stored in a damp environment and had surface rust on the bottom side though.
