Not to mention that the L & R is on the wrong part. The socket should be off set to the front.

aermotor is the winner! Who ever made these don't know their left from right or maybe they were made for the down under Aussies. ha ha!
 
Are you sure those are not 32-34 king pins. If they are then they are
marked correctly.

If they are the later pins they will have the lock pin notch in a different spot too.I've bought quite a few of them mixed up in box lots at flea markets.I'll bet they are the later pins.
 
I know this is the Model A forum, but those could be '32-'34, those have the opposite socket offset, don't they?

I guess I wasn't looking when the other posters jumped in. He who hesitates is lost.
 
Ok, here's a back side view. The one on the left is one pin from the first picture. On the right is a current Snyder's Model A repro. Do you still think the one on the left is a 1932-34?

Put a straight edge across the flat spot on the shaft and another straight edge across the open cup face, and see if the straight edges are parallel to each other. If they are, then it's Model A, and if they form an angle to each other, they are for a Model B.
 
Tom, They are not parallel, so they are "B". They came out of an "A". Someone ground the brake shaft housings to fit . The brake shaft housings sure do fit loose in the cups.

forever4, I believe the one on the right is a USA repro.
