I am looking to replace everything on a Model A axle.
What later model brake assembly, spindles etc will fit to the kingpins on a Model A axle?

'37 - '48 spindles are a direct slip on, and you can then use '40-48 brakes, or any of the kits to put on discs. You can even use Ford pickup brakes from the early '50's with some minor mods and some bearing changes.
I'm like most people, I have a budget and have to save up to get some parts, but I learned years ago to just bite the bullet on important stuff like steering and brakes because nothing makes a car safer and more pleasureful to drive than if it goes where you aim it and stops when you need to stop. I had some cobbled up cars in my early years, which is how I learned to spend a few bucks on do certain things right the first time.
Cooling is another one..............a car that overheats at redlights is no fun whatsoever.
