Anyone have the measurements of this by chance? I have an older set of Rocky Mountain brakes I would like to update.

Re: Ez slider
Our best Model T suppliers stock them for around $20. It sounds like you might be wanting to make one yourself. Heck- you can't make a homemade one for that little bit, if your time means anything. But, if you are like me, you may want to just to see if you can.

Re: Ez slider
If it was twenty it would be a no brainer, but its over sixty and I can make one pretty easily.

Re: Ez slider
Mack,
Lexan loan shark I only have one for the times you need one ( hotel, air, car rental & online purchases that will not
take a check) I pay it off every month. The cradit card Co. offered me a free credit check & I found out I don't have a credit rating anymore.
I'm thinking that's a win. If I couldn't do 95% of the work on my T's I don't think I would have one.

Re: Ez slider
I made it out of scrap I had in the metal pile, It took about an hour. That’s an easy way to save sixty bucks. Im glad the parts suppliers have them for folks that can’t make them though.

Re: Ez slider
Yea it is perfectly understandable that not everyone can make everything for sure.
If it weren't for my "stash" of metal and parts and sources for more,I wouldn't have much as far as a hobby car or anything else.it would be cost prohibitive.

The soul of the Model T is the Shade-Tree fabrication used to keep it going.

Re: Ez slider
I’ve made a few of these. I increase the adjuster size from 5/16” to 3/8”. 5/16” all thread is down to almost 1/4” at its root with 18 stress risers per inch. I use a quality 3/8” SAE stud for far greater strength because, it’s brakes.

Re: Ez slider
I also built one. I also used 3/8 threads. If I remember right, I think the one that came with my brakes was only 1/4 inch and looked weak to me. It's a "pushing, not pulling" part. I have seen the smaller threaded rod bent.

Re: Ez slider
Anyone ever use two of these for 27 parking brakes to increase the throw on the handbrake lever?
In my situation, the brake lining is too close to the drum surface resulting in the brakes being activated too soon when I pull on the lever. If I loosen the rods to eliminate early engagement, the car won't slip into high with the handbrake brake released. Its not an adjustment issue.
