Question:

I have an EZ Loader tandem axle trailer with Kodiak 10inch 225 disc brakes e coat that Im looking to replace with an SS system. The K1HR35S was recommended as a kit for 13inch wheels which I have in a Q and A yet, the product page calls out 14inch and larger just like the K2R35S... Im confused on this. Please verify. Also, my trailer has the Reliable Oil bath style hub. I really dont need new hubs... just the SS rotors, calipers and respective hardware. A. Do you have a Kodiak SS kit that will fit my 13inch wheels and also be compatible with the Reliable oil bath hub without me actually having to buy new hubs? B. If not, does the hub that comes in the correct 13inch SS kit compatible with the oil bath system? Thanks for your time.

For a stainless steel caliper to match what you currently have you would want the part # KDBC225S. For the stainless rotor with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern, part # KR10S.

For the stainless mounting bracket part # KCMB10RS.

All of these components have the same dimensions as your current setup so they would clear your 13 inch rim.
