Looking for Brake Assembly for 11 Inch Diameter Hub Drum

Updated 07/09/2020 | Published 07/08/2020

Question:

I have separate drums on my hubs, not integrated. Drum inner diameter is 11. Can these adjust down, or the 10 version adjust up enough to work correctly with an 11inch drum? Depth of drum is 3-1/8inch from mounting plate to rim. Thanks

Unfortunately, they do not. We don't carry a brake assembly for an 11 inch brake drum. It sounds like you might have a mobile home axle. If this is the case, mobile home axles are meant to be a one-time use item, then discarded. This is why so many folks use them for homemade trailers or as an inexpensive replacement. That's all fine and good until something needs to be replaced. Because they're meant for one time usage, replacement parts are typically hard if not impossible to come by.

If this is the case, your best bet would be to replace your axle with one that uses standardized parts. We offer a few off-the-shelf replacement axles, if you'd care to reply via email and let me know the bolt pattern of your wheels, the hub face to hub face dimension and the center to center distance between your spring seats I'd be happy to check to see if anything we offer would make a good replacement for you.

I've provided a photo showing the measurements needed.
