The studs on the Dexter 7 inc brake assembly, part # 23-47, are 1-1/4 inch long with 7/16 - 20 threads. Brake Assembly mounting bolt, part # 7-75, is 1-1/4 inch long with 7/16 - 20 threads. The nuts, part # 6-17, are also 7/16 - 20.

This size is pretty standardized as far as 7 inch and 10 inch brake assemblies.

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
