Question:
I have dexter 10x2.25 hydraulic brakes on my boat trailer. Are your complete Redline brand assemblies bolt-on compatible. I have dexter drum assemblies and backing plates with wheel cylinders. shoes ,springs and hold-downs, and hardware are all removed by previous owner.

Hey Bob,
The redline assemblies # SB24429M and # SB24428M are great for 3,500lb axles with a 4 bolt brake mounting flange. As long as your axle has that, it is going to work with your setup. A 4 bolt brake mounting spacing is standard so they are all the same measurement. The drum assemblies you have would slide over these and work well. The brake assemblies are all together so all you would need to do is slip them on and bolt them down.
Are you needing any other parts on that trailer or just looking for brakes?

Hey Bob, Did the Redline brake assemblies fit well with your trailer setup? I'm asking because knowing your experience could help others with similar trailer setups.
