Question:

I have a 1983 Palomino MXL tent trailer and need to replace the brake shoes. Do you have those? It is a hydraulic system. Thanks,

We have several sets of replacement hydraulic brake shoes available (see link to the right). Without knowing what size and brand of brake shoes you currently have though it would be impossible for me to recommend a set that would be confirmed to fit.

What you will need to do is determine the size and brand of the brakes you currently have and then check out the link I attached and use the filters on the left side of the page to narrow down the results to see what would work for you. To see how to measure check out the picture I attached.

If you can't find the brand or find that we don't carry the brand you have your best option would be to replace the assemblies with new ones. Often times this is the best economical choice anyway. I also attached a link to a page to the right that has all of the assemblies we carry that could be used as a replacement. You will need to select your drum size from the filters on the left and make sure your brake flange has the same 4 or 5 bolt mounting flange.
