Question:
Is there a flange available that can be welded on the axle tube for the brake backing plate? I have an old homemade trailer and the backing plate is welded to the axle tube instead of bolted so I would need to either get a brake kit without backing plates or cut it off and get a flange to weld on. What would you suggest?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Brake Mounting Flange for 3" Round Axle # 4-44-1 will allow you to weld on the brake flange to a 3" axle. This will be the correct pattern for your Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-105-106.
There are also Brake Mounting Flange for 2-3/8" Round Axles # 4-35 and Trailer Brake Mounting Flange for 3-1/2" Axles # 4-50. These will use different brake assemblies due to having a different axle size.
