Here's the details,...
I've been looking around for photos showing old 45's running big twin front brakes, rockers, on the old 1930s I-beam front ends. I've heard now and then that it was a popular "upgrade" but I've yet to see actual photos of this from the 1930s to the early 1940s (the prewar days).
I'm taking my '37 45 solo back to a more original look, BUT I don't want to do things that were not seen in the time frame that I'm building it to represent.
It's just a personal thing mind you, but I'm trying to stay true to that which was actually done in that time frame. Not just speculations of things that "might" have been, or made sense to have done without proof.
Of course for all intended reasons, its very "likely" that a guy could have simply switched things over and given himself a larger big twin front brake system on his old 45 springer font end, though, so far, I've yet to see any proof of this actually being done.
Anyone ever notice anything in old photos, magazine articles, early "Enthusiast" magazine photos from the 1930s to early 40s??
Thanks to all!
