Question:

I was curious as to if you’d be able to tell me distance between the inside of the brake drum face to the mount flange of the shoes? I am trying to build a custom drive system for a build I’m doing and to need to put a brake on it and was hoping to use electric brakes. The drum would be driven not an idler so I was hoping to find the dimension requested.

I went out to our warehouse to measure the Dexter Trailer Brake Drum # 9-44-1 drum for you. From the inside wall to the inside lip the measurement is 4-1/2 inches where it will come to the dust shield of the brake assembly where it mounts to the axle flange. The brake assembly I recommend for that hub is the Electric Trailer Brake Kit w/ Dust Shields - Self-Adjusting - 12-1/4" - Left/Right Hand - 10K # AKEBRK-10.
