Question:

i was wondering for the ASR35HDS02 is there a drum brake with a hand parking brake that would work with the Timbren Axle-less. What other products would i need to make the hand parking brake work? Thank you

Expert Reply:

To use a hand brake like the part # T2385200 with the Timbren system part # ASR35HDS02 that you referenced you will need to use a hydraulic drum brake with a parking brake linkage.

Since the recommended hub/drum is the part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ which is a 12 by 2 inch drum the correct left hand brake assembly would be the # T2351300 and the right hand side would be # T2351200.

I also attached a help article on adding hydraulic drum brakes to a trailer for you to check out as well.
