Bolt Pattern of 5 Bolt Brake Mounting Flange for Trailer Brakes
Question:
I have an oddball question. On the standard 5 hole brake backing plate mounting flange, what is the center to center spacing between the bolt holes? I understand that the standard 5 bolt flange is an industry standard for trailer axles with 5 bolt patern but I would like to know what that standard is. Thank you,

The bolt pattern for a 5 bolt brake mounting flange, like # 4-44-1 is 5 on 3-7/8 inches.
What that means is it measures 3-7/8 inches from one corner to its diagonal counterpart. From hole to hole across the bottom is 3 inches and between the others is about 2-1/8 inches.
I've made a diagram that may help.
