Question:

Looking for replacement brake magnets for this trailer and drums. It has Dexter 8-236 drums with a 4 lug nut pattern. It is for a customer of mine and I do not have the trailer in my possession, but I can contact him for more details if needed. It has 13 wheels and I will attach a generic picture of what the wheel looks like and the round magnet. The magnet is almost 2 in diameter and about 11/16 of an inch in width.

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Dexter 8-286 is an obsolete 2800lb 10 x 1-1/2 inch hub that does not have replacement magnets made for anymore due to how long it's been out of production but you can replace the assemblies with the part # K23-472-473-00 as the only option.

Hello, I have the same Dexter 8-236 assemblies and I need to do a brake rebuild but I want to retain my drums because they are the obsolete large 4 bolt pattern. I think they can be successfully turned and thus would prevent me from having to get new drums, new wheels, and paying to have my new tires put on the new wheels. Are my old drums compatible with this kit? Thank you! Ryan
