The conversion on my 1928 car was done by fitting an early long chassis cross-shaft, with brake cables arranged in the appropriate way 1933 style. The chassis cross member behind the gearbox has the front part only of the fore and aft chassis member from a 1933 style chassis holding the centre bearing of the cross shaft. Using 1.25" wide drums and shoes footbrake efficiency regularly exceeded 80% in the days when I was getting the car tested.
