Hey Barry, it sounds like you're looking for the Dexter Electric Trailer Brakes # K23-472-473-00. These are Dexter brakes that measure 10" diameter x 1-1/2" wide, and are designed for 3,000 lb axles.

You don't have auto-adjust Dexter's for 3000# axles?

I also want to buy a matching spare tire. When measuring bolt circle with 5 holes, I am having a hard time matching up with what's available on your website. Stud to stud, I'm measuring as close as I can measure, 2 5/8" between studs, center to center....... x 5 / pi (3.1416) equals 4.177" BC. Obviously, that doesn't match anything in your product listing. The tire on the wheel is a ST205/75/D15 LRC. It is silver with round holes.....would send a picture but don't see a way to attach it. It looks like your item # MX57FR. But that shows 4 ½" BC. I dont think I am off with my measuring but if i was off by 1/16" and the measurement was 2 11/16" between the studs, that would only be 4.277" BC. 2 ¾" between studs would yield 4.376 BC.....still not 4 ½" as shown in your catalog. Can you assist with this?

I will pickup the trailer on the 20th. Is there any other verification that I need to do, i.e., mounting bolt center, bolt circle, etc., before ordering?
