We do not have the exact magnet clip for 7 inch brakes so # AKBRKR-MC could work but it may need to be modified to fit.

The other option is to replace the magnet which comes with a new spring and clip, # BP01-068.

Without the clip the magnet can come off of the actuating arm and tumble around in the drum.

The magnet clips #BP19005 should not be making contact with the drum while the brakes engage, so I do not think that is the problem. What I think is going on is it's just not seating all the way. These can get a little squished or deformed…

The brake magnet is held onto an electric braking assembly with a clip. It is not impossible for these to work themselves out over time so I would make sure that you still have the clip in place. The clip is located inside the center of the magnet…
