I have a 1976 Midas Volunteer travel trailer that needs new trailer brakes. The wheels are the dexter 4 bolt wheels so i was wondering what trailer brakes would work for my camper?

Expert Reply:

I'm assuming your trailer has standard electric trailer brakes.

In order to choose the correct brake assemblies, you'll need to measure the inside diameter and depth of your brake drums, and choose brake assemblies with the proper diameter and thickness. Your drums are likely 7 x 1-3/4, but you'll want to measure to be sure. If you confirm they're 7 x 1-3/4 inches, you'll need the etrailer.com 7 x 1-1/4 inch brake assembly, part # AKEBRK-2R for the right side and # AKEBRK-2L for the left.
