Reading Geoff Kent's 'The 4mm Wagon - part 1' gives the answer to the question on the Airfix brakes.
The kit provides two mouldings, only one of which is required, and two identical brake handles, the one on the same side as the brakes should be fitted with a Morton clutch.
So, I've removed the brakes from one side and cut the brake handles off the V hanger on the other. pushing it slightly upwards and used a piece of rod to represent the end brake rod and the Morton clutch. At the same time I've also removed the rectangular area around one side of the V hanger which was presumably only there for strength. I've also removed the pips from the brake handle guide and drilled a number of holes instead. Hope you think these are worthwhile improvements.
