I was able to find the following produce for adjusting the pendulum on the Kelsey Brake Controller:

"Depress the brake pedal just far enough to illuminate the tow vehicle brake lights. Use a finger to pull the pendulum leveling arm (a small lever on the left side of the unit) toward the front of the Kelsey trailer brake controller and confirm that this makes the control module indicator light glow brightly. Push the pendulum leveling arm slowly in the opposite direction until the control module indicator light is at its dimmest. Release the brake pedal."

If this is not what you are looking for then please just let me know.

Answer 6

Thanks for the picture and info on your current brake assemblies, from that we know that the Dexter brake assembly part #23-106 that you referenced is the correct fit. For the left hand side you'd then want the part #23-105.

Answer 7

You do not have to have your trailer connected to your vehicle when testing the brake controller. Also, when testing the brake controller make sure that the gain is adjusted high enough to give a correct brake signal. You are correct in that you will…

The Kelsey Energize brake controller is a standard electric brake controller which the only thing you need to do to remove it is cut the four wires that it uses to install in your vehicle and tape them up and out of the way. There is no need for any…

Answer 9

I'd be happy to help! To figure out if new modern brakes will work on your vintage Airstream you'll need to figure out which size your brakes are. Based on your picture it looks like you have a 5 bolt mounting flange similar to what #AKEBRK-6…

Hey Tito, From what I can find the Trailer Hub & Drum Assembly #8-388-80UC3 and Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brakes #23-458-459 do appear to be the correct fit but you'll want to first verify the wheel bolt pattern and axle capacity…
