Thanks for reaching out, Lee. The Brake Shoe with Lining for Dexter PQ Style Air Brake # BP22-015 will fit only the 12-1/4" x 4" PQ-style Dexter air brakes.

We do offer some 12-1/4" x 5" shoes and if you can provide me with the part number or model number of your brake assembly, I am happy to confirm fitment for you. Here is what we have for the 12-1/4" x 5" shoes:
