Parts I.D. questions

Okay gang, I recently bought a '30 coupe that was all in pieces. Most of the stuff is similar enough in form and function to the early V8 pieces I'm accustomed to that I can figure out where in the puzzle they go. But here are a few that I'm unsure of.

I got two parking brake levers. One has a 90 degree mounting bracket and short pull rod, the other has a flat bracket and longer rod. They have a similar handle configuration, but must be from different years/models?

Then there's the A (or I guess V if you turn it over:)) shaped bracket. The car came with both a rear spare mount, and a driver side fender well, but this doesn't look like what I recall seeing for side mounts.

Then there's the horn. Two questions here: is this correct for a '30, and is the back of the diaphraghm end supposed to be "naked" like that?

Thanks in advance for your help.

The brake handles look like 30-31 handles, different manufacterers maybe? Don't know about the wishbone thingy and the horn looks like an aftermarket.

Man....you guys are FAST!!! Thanks.
You just jogged my memory Bruce, that angled bracket looks just like the one on my old '33.
 
'32 Brake handle Assembly, '33 and later Brake Handle Assembly.

The "V" thing, I do not know and the Horn is not Ford.,

I will be glad to trade you the '32 Handle for a nice Model A. Actually, the '32 and '33 and later actual handle it self is the same as the late "A" Handle.

Okay, just to clarify, is the '30-1 and the '32 the same (the assy not just the handle portion), is this a 4cyl thing, or are we having a difference in opinion here?

Glad to see that the A frame thingy not making sense was justified, and that the horn not looking right for the A is a shared opinon.

Thanks again.
 
There is a difference in the bracket, which carries.the teeth as well. Picture does match the B-V8 in the catalog...don't have a picture of A around.
 
OK...found a picture of later Model A type. The '32 bracket/teeth part jinks upward at ends where bolts go, Model A downward a bit. I would speculate that they might functionally interchange, but do not know.
 
I appreciate the extra effort Bruce, good to know. Thanks.

Chris, I'll not be making any decisions on parts (ex)changes for a while. Thanks
