Specs:
With repeated use of this brake assembly, the brake shoes may move out of alignment, causing less efficient braking performance. To keep the brake shoes aligned and the brake assembly performing correctly, you should perform routine maintenance.
This brake assembly should be adjusted after installation and then as needed for the life of the brake. To adjust the brake, use a brake adjustment screw tool (sold separately) to turn the adjustment gear on the inside of the assembly. Continue to turn the gear until the drum surrounding the brake catches on the brake pads enough so that the hub can no longer be turned easily by hand. Then reverse the gear by about 10 clicks. A properly adjusted brake should drag slightly on the brake drum.
This brake assembly meets the requirements for certification by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). The CSA creates standards, which when complied with ensure a safe and quality product. This brake assembly underwent extensive testing to measure stopping distances when braking. This brake has also been tested by QAI for braking performance in a complete automotive setup and under real-world conditions to provide the most realistic scenario for the everyday driver.
Each shoe on this brake assembly is lined with automotive-grade friction material for improved stopping performance and longevity. The friction material is fully bonded onto the surface of the brake shoe. This lining is custom-molded for a perfect fit. The edges are tapered to ensure long-lasting performance. This taper, along with the circular grinding that the lining undergoes, helps to prevent cracking and crumbling. This durability helps to prevent mechanical lockup, which can occur when brake shoes are excessively worn or broken.
The friction material is also SAE-N certified, which means that it is an environmentally safe product that complies with California and Washington regulations regarding the composition of brake pads. As a result, this material not only provides high-performance braking that can endure the test of time, but it is also environmentally friendly and safe for use throughout the United States and Canada.

Good fit and stopping just fine now!
I replaced the original brakes, grease seals and bearings on a 2013 3 axle toy hauler because they looked rough and I was preparing for a 4-5 month vacation on the road.
Etrailer is my go-to favorite place.
Aaron - 06/13/2022Fit perfect
Bolted right up to my Dexter axle, no issues at all with installation. Paint coating appears very nice. This is a very economical way to replace your brakes and magnets.
Fits as described
Purchased 4 sets of the brake assemblies to replace my worn out brakes on 7k Dexter axles. Perfect fit. The eTrailer price for the corrosion resistant units was better than I saw for the standard set anywhere else. I would definitely buy again
Brakes were easy to install, though I had never done so before, and appear to be good quality.
the corrosion resistant backing plates are just what I was looking for and look to be of excellent quality. If these were available in self-adjust, that would be even better. I would have ordered some extra bolts, but that product is hard to locate while making a purchase. Perhaps a link on the backing plate details to the hardware such as the axle nuts etc. They are there, I saw them while clicking around but could not find them easily. Excellent customer service!

Odelia did a GREAT job with helping me as I have never done a electronic break system before... I had NO clue what I was getting myself into. 3 hours after I received the parts the owner picked it up and he had breaks. Mind you I have about 10 to 14 hours into the job. I needed to do it correctly and made sure everything was spotless clean. Every nut was torqued and everything was adjusted to perfection. I run a shop that has 30 to 60 people and I wish Odelia was part of our staff. Odelia was very easy to talk to and very knowledgeable about the product. Please tell Odelia I appreciate on how much she helped a new customer as she was outstanding!!! Parts had GREAT packaging no damage.
Great product, great price, and was shipped in a timely manner. Etrailer is the best online shopping for your trailer and towing needs. I have been very pleased with their products and customer service.
Lightning fast shipping! Emily was very knowledgeable about the trailer brake products I was buying and saved me about $100.00 in the process. etrailer definitely has my business from now on.
Thanks to Ashley D who got me a product in stocked that worked perfectly. Ashley was so very helpful on the phone with my questions. Your video on how to install and adjust was great for a non mechanic
Quality seems to be good. We'll see how long the coating holds up - it looks like some parts are just painted with silver versus plated.
Works great
Super fast delivery. Although I have not yet installed them, the look to be well made.
Review from a similar Dacromet 12 Inch in Accessories and Parts
I needed to upgrade my boat trailer from free-wheeling spindles to electric brakes because my new tow vehicle has a 5,000 pound tow rating only if the trailer has brakes. The brakes will be immersed only in fresh water but I chose the brake kit with Dacromet coating just to assure maximum protection from rust and corrosion. After removing the original spindles and cleaning the old grease from the axle I installed the new brake assemblies. They fit perfectly and seem to be of solid construction. Without the self adjusting mechanism it keeps these brakes assemblies very simple and making a manual adjustment periodically is no problem. I am pleased with the quality of this product.

Received my brakes and box was torn. Box was flimsy and not made to hold 4 sets of brakes. Need to work on better shipping methods. I hope they work

Worked perfect for our 28ft v nose race trailer
Review from a similar Dacromet 12 Inch in Accessories and Parts

Review from a similar Dacromet 12 Inch in Accessories and Parts
The electric trailer brake assemblies appear to be well made and fit perfectly. Delivery was great and actually arrived a day earlier than expected, which helped me a lot. I was concerned about the packaging with the heavy items only wrapped in paper and loose in a large box. Fortunately, there did not appear to be any damage or missing parts. So far I am very happy with the brakes and hope the last a long time.
Review from a similar Dacromet 12 Inch in Accessories and Parts
A great product maybe not as good as the expensive stuff but works well and for the price you can change them out every couple of years(it takes about 30 to 45 min. per wheel to do once your tools are out and ready) as I do. I pull a 32ft race trailer that weights 14000 pounds with a 2000 tongue weight and for me it is just easier to replace everything!!!
