Questions & Answers

Could this be used on a homemade utility trailer with dexter brakes and axles?

You can use it as long as it has a five-hole

When the hole is drilled to the center, what is the A backing plate can be welded onto an axle, can it not?

The center hole is 3 1/4 inches in diameter. In order to mount them without the bracket, the brakes would have to be well spaced, as they could be welded, but the bracket would then have to be attached to the brakes to bolt them onto

How big is the inside diameter of the hole?

There is no way I remember it fitting perfectly my 2003 Keystone Laredo

A number of reviews lack hardware (bolts and nuts). Would you mind sharing your thoughts on this?

Amounts of mounting hardware were not provided. It was what was on the old brakes that we used.

It took only 10 minutes to install these brakes
5/5

We replaced two 12X2 standard 5 bolt Dexter 023-based brakes. Is 105. The following numbers are available This is 106. Brakes for the 00 (right-hand drive). During the last year, all four brakes on my tandem axle 5th wheel had to be replaced. As I was eager to get it done right away, I found a pair at a local trailer parts store for $86 each before I had to wait for an online order to be fulfilled. As soon as I had them installed and the brakes on the front replaced, I began searching online for another set of brakes. The next closest pair was $59 each and then I found this pair. Would you be willing to pay $65 to get both? Dexter by name may not be the most accurate, but it may be worth a try. My friends forwarded me two Dexter betas last weekend and these yesterday so I can do an accurate comparison, and I'll tell you there is not a lot of Everything is the same including the quality of the materials, the build, the thickness and texture of the brake pads, and the connection. Considering the price point of $65 a pair, I figured there would at least be some inferiority compared to the brand name. We installed them, spliced the wires, adjusted them, and then tested them with the breakaway brake. They locked up exactly when hooked to the truck with the trailer off the ground and it worked just like the Dexter brakes in front of them. In the near future I intend to buy another two pairs and keep them in the shop for when the next brakes are changed. The reason I am mad is that I didn't wait until I had enough money and ordered 2 sets here to begin with because I ended up paying 180 dollars for the front axle and 65 dollars for the rear axle.

A 2 out of 5 star rating Having an extensive hardware store is a great idea, but you will also need to purchase your own nuts, bolts, and washers

I like it a lot
4/5

Because it was cost-effective and it assured safety when hauling heavy loads, I liked it. This is a 1974 7ton trailer that I replaced. While the bolt pattern was a bit different, with 4 bolts to align with the old pattern, it was not a major departure Here is a picture of the new plate I just punched and etched To make the holes match, the step drilled them. A small drill and a little bit of sandpaper will be necessary to drill holes After that, you can up it to a 5/16 in the end then a 1/2 in the end. I will attach pictures as soon as possible.

You can do it yourself with these quality brakes
5/5

For the money, these brakes are very good. The price is just a little over half of one accessory in the city. Simple to install and has made a difference in my life. Solder and cover your wire splicing with heat shrink before you connect them. In case you need to maintain your brakes in the future, purchase the equipment you require. It should be relatively.

A brake system that uses an electric motor
5/5

Despite pretty rusty hardware, these work great! The hardware included with these is nice! As for repairs, I read that studs would be needed, and there are some bad reviews about them. There is no reason to be skeptical since even someone barely mechanically inclined will not have any issues. Don't be cautious, I have over 10k miles with loads varying from 5k to 30k. The controls are working great after adjusting them initially. They have been capable of handling up to 10k pounds without any issues.

It's the best value you'll find
5/5

Buying a set beforehand allowed me to try it out before buying a My brakes looked poor quality, but the parts looked excellent and the hardware was of a higher standard. I have no complaints about how it worked. This is a great deal for your money. A new brake system has now been added to my car trailer. The world is a better place.

I liked it a lot
5/5

It has a lot of weight and was not expensive considering how heavy it is. I was surprised by how cheap it was for a box so heavy. The box is from China and fit perfectly. It is near impossible to understand why anyone would replace just the magnet or shoe when you can install this cheaply as a complete backing plate.

Make sure the mounting hardware is in good condition
4/5

It was important to me that this particular set come with a mounting kit. You should be aware that it comes with a STUD and you'll only be able to access the wrench from one end. Due to clearance issues with the axle, i was unable to get them in through the back, so I The brakes work well and are able to stop my 8k lbs trailer easily.
