Question:

I am replacing rotors and calipers on my trailer. It previously had knott brakes installed with a banjo type splitter manifold to allow tandem surge brake lines. I ordered the Deemax 3500# kits from you but it did not come with this adapter. I need to split the lines via the manifold but the banjo bolt is a larger size than the Deemax input threaded input. Will this allow me to accomplish the job?

Expert Reply:

The Adapter Port # DE73MR you found is an exact replacement for the one on the Caliper # DE86VR. This is designed to accept a brake line like the Kodiak # bh-3mfs90ff-1-5 and not a banjo type connection. You are going to have to alter your brake lines by adding in Tee's # BH-T-3FIF along with the hoses your trailer is going to require.

Can the tees and adapters be overnighted to me? I’m in a bind here.
