What is Difference Between Trailer Brake Assemblies KB10E-06 and KB12E-06
Question:
What is the difference between magnets: KB10E-06 and KB12E-06?
asked by: Rodney B
Expert Reply:
The KB10E-06 # AKBRKR-M10 and the KB12E-06 # AKBRKR-M12 are similar magnet designs but they are intended for different applications/sizes of brake assemblies. The # AKBRKR-M12 is for 12 inch assemblies and the # AKBRKR-M10 is for 10. The temptation is to use the bigger magnet on the lower rated assemblies but doing so does not give you more powerful brakes, it actually will just make for harder to adjust brakes as it the magnet will be too sensitive.
