Model A Wheels and Juice Brakes?

[Houston Rodder]

Hey Guys, I want to put 30-31 Model A wire wheels on the front of my hot rod. I have the early ford completely round spindles on a dropped axle. I want to say they are 37-41 spindles. What year Ford front brakes will go to my spindles and my Model A wheels?
Thanks

1939-48 backing plates and 1940-48 drums. The '39 drums have a 5 on 10 1/4 bolt pattern. You need to run adapter rings between the drums and Model A wheels to make the wheels seat correctly. The wheels will bolt on but may eventually fail without the adapter rings.
