Helpful Expert Reply:

The Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assembly equivalent to your current assemblies is part # K23-478-00 for the left and part # K23-479-00 for the right side.

Please check the mounting pattern of your current assemblies to the # K23-478-00 for the left and part # K23-479-00 for the right side because these have a very specific mounting flange pattern. I am not able to add the photo right now but if you go to the product pages of K23-478-00 and K23-479-00 you can see the diagram.

thanks for the information. In lieu of Dexter, are there equivalent Lippert self adjusting brake assembly?

@Jean-marc Good question, the 4,400 lb Dexter axle has a different brake mounting flange pattern then the Lippert braking assemblies so the Lippert braking assemblies will not fit your brake flange on the Dexter axle. I should also mention the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust braking assemblies I mentioned above have a specific mounting pattern for a 4,400 lb Dexter axle. I cannot attach the mounting pattern diagram here but if you go to the product page for # K23-478-00 and part # K23-479-00 the diagram is on there. It is a good idea to check your current assemblies mounting pattern against the Dexter assemblies I mentioned. I tried to find the mounting pattern of your current Dexter assemblies and I wasn't able to find any information online. If some reason, you don't have a Dexter axle let me know.

Answer 1

From the research that I have done it looks like a 21 ft Bigfoot is going to weigh about 4000 lbs so I am going to assume that it has 4400 lb axles. Since there is a very good chance that it has the 10 inch x 2-1/4 inch brake assemblies, you could…
