  We do have the regular Dexter Axle brakes and their Nev-R-Adjust equivalents. The regular (manually adjusted) brakes that you are wanting are listed as part # 23-26 for the Left Hand side and part # 23-27 for the Right Hand side.

• Replacement 7 inch Brake Assembly for Fiat Elnagh 320 Motorhome
  Buongiorno! We do carry Replacement Magnet Kit for 7" Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies - 2,000 lbs Item # AKBRKR-M7. However, it looks like the center mounting hole on yours is round, whereas ours uses a square/rectangular hole. It doesn't appear that the hole on the # AKBRKR-M7 is large enough to allow the arm (on the brake assembly) to fit through. If you scroll to about the 5:40 min mark on the Redline Replacement Magnet Kit video Iinked below, you'll see the arm I'm referring to...

• Guides to Use for Adding Brakes to a Trailer
  First thing we need to do is verify for sure what axles/spindles your trailer has so that we can pick out the correct hub/drums that will fit them and then go from there to pick out the rest of the brake parts needed. I attached a couple help article links that are guides for your exact situation of adding brakes to a trailer. These will guide you through the entire process of what's needed to install brakes on your trailer.

• Should a Trailer Brake Magnet Make Contact with a Drum Even With No Brakes Applied
  The magnet should only make contact with the inside of the brake drum when power is applied to the magnet. If it is making contact with the drum all the time, you may have residual power running on the brake wire that is just enough to cause the magnet to grab the drum. You will need to check the magnet power wire with a circuit tester, # PTW2993, to see if there is any power when the brakes are not applied. If there is, there is a short circuit somewhere and you will need to track it...

• Trailer Brakes are Very Weak Even After Adjusting Them
  Since the trailer was off of the ground it would not take much voltage to stop the wheels from spinning so they may be getting power but they may not be getting enough power due to a short or wiring issue. But 9 times out of 10 weak trailer brakes indicate that the brakes need to be adjusted. Since you adjusted the brakes and that did not help it could be time to replace the shoes. If enough of the pads has worn away they will not be able to adjust out far enough to make good contact with...

• Identify Older Hayes Brake Magnet
  It looks like a Hayes Brake magnet part number 73400. We do not carry this part but I did a quick internet search and was able to find a couple places that sell them. From the research I did it looks like this is an older style of brake magnet used in the 1980's.

• What Do Old Warner Trailer Brake Assemblies Look Like
  Those are Warner trailer brakes. This style is not made anymore and replacement parts are hard to find. We have some parts for the larger Warner assemblies but NOT the 12 x 2 inch ones. Most people end up replacing them. You will have to have standard brake mounting flanges welded to the axle, see link, if it doesn't have them already. You will also need to replace the hub and drum assemblies. For that I would need to know the inner and outer bearing numbers stamped into the sides of the...

• Parts Needed to Swap Surge Brakes With Electric Brakes On a 16' Car Hauler Trailer
  In order to swap your surge brakes to electric brakes you're going to need to first swap out the actuator with the Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Drum Brakes # HBA-10. The next thing you'll need is new brake assemblies, if your drums are in good shape you can leave those on there but you're going to need brake kits for all four of your wheels using # 23-26 for the left side and # 23-27 for the right side. Next, you're going to need a brake controller. I personally like...

• Hubs, Brake Assemblies and Brake Controller to Use with Timbren Axle Less System ASR2KHDS03
  The Timbren Axle Less System part # ASR2KHDS03 that you referenced will weld or bolt on to the trailer frame. Hardware for that is not provided. For hub/drums to fit the included spindles you would want the part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K and then for brake assemblies you would want the part # 23-27 for the right hand side and part # 23-26 for the left hand side. The hubs are for a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885....

• Replacement Hubs and Drum Brakes For a 2021 NuCamp TaB Trailer Using Dexter Axle Parts
  Thank you for providing the Dexter part numbers Robert. For the brakes we have the Kit # 23-26-27 which contains both the Left # 23-26 and Right # 23-27 brake assemblies. You might consider upgrading to the Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brakes # 23-468-469 so you will no longer have to adjust the brakes every 3,000 miles. They will self adjust giving you much better brake feel as the pads wear. For the hub/drum we have the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # K08-426-91. The difference...

• Will Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum # 845476UC3-EZ Work with Electric Brakes
  Yes, the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 845476UC3-EZ referenced in your question is compatible with both electric and hydraulic brake assemblies. This 3,500 pound hub works with 10 inch electric brake assemblies like the Dexter # 23-27 for the Right Hand and # 23-26 for the Left Hand. I have attached a short video demonstration on this hub and drum that you can also check out.

• Can Dexter Brake Assembly 23-468-469 be Used Instead of 23-26 and 23-27
  Yes, # 23-468-469 are 10" x 2-1/4" brake assemblies just like # 23-26 and # 23-27. Both sets have a 4 bolt brake flange pattern and are designed for 3,500 lb axles so they are interchangeable with one exception. If you have 13" wheels then the # 23-468-469 will not work for you. This brake assembly kit works with 14-15" wheels. I would definitely recommend these self-adjusting brakes. Not only is it more convenient, you also don't have to remember to make adjustments. Since they adjust...

• Compatibility of Dexter Replacement Drum Brake Arm BP02-180 & Magnet BP01-110
  Dexter Right Hand Trailer Brake Actuating Arm # BP02-180 replaces this item on right brake assembly # 23-27. The correct magnet for both the left and right brake of this type is indeed the part you referenced, # BP01-110. When wiring in the new magnet either lead can be used for ground since the magnet's wiring is non-polarized.

• Using Dexter Brake Pads as Replacements on Hayes Brake Assembly
  I can't recommend using a Dexter brake shoe on a Hayes/Al Ko brake assembly. The parts haven't been tested together for fit, so I honestly couldn't say if they'd work or not. The same would go for the return spring. Our usual recommendation is for folks to simply replace the entire brake assembly when the pads wear out. This way all your brake shoes, springs, adjuster and magnet are new as well. For a 10 inch brake drum, a 2-1/4 inch wide brake pad is what we have available. You can determine...

• Picking Out Trailer Brake Assemblies that Have Bolt Pattern 2-7/8 inch by 2-7/8 inch
  The 2-7/8 inch square bolt pattern that you need is a very common bolt pattern for 4-bolt brake assemblies that are 10 inch in diameter. The # 23-454 that you referenced uses a smaller bolt pattern at 2-13/16 inch by 2-13/16 inch which was common for brake assemblies made before 2009. The # K23-478-00 that you also referenced does not use a square bolt pattern at all so what you'd really be in need of is # 23-27 for the right hand side and # 23-26 for the left hand side.

• Components Needed to Build a Trailer From Scratch with the Timbren Axle-Less System
  I would be happy to help you put together the components you need to build your own trailer and do my best to keep the weight down. You are off to a good start with the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - Spindle w/Brake Flange item # ASR1200S04. These weigh around 50 lbs. However, the brakes you linked item # 23-48 are for 7" hubs and we do not have any that will fit the Timbren systems so you will need to go up to 10" hubs and drums. I recommend the Dexter Trailer Hub and...
