How to Pick Out Replacement Brake Assemblies for 1973 Prowler Trailer
Question:
I have Dayton Fayette axles on my 1973 Prowler trailer. 15inch 4 lug wheels. I need the electric brake magnets? Part number 5110? or is there an entire assembly to replace for the brakes?

We don't have that specific brake magnet part number so your best option is to replace the assemblies with new ones.
I can help you find the right assemblies, but I do not know exactly which ones you have on your trailer.
To pick out the correct brake assemblies for your trailer you need to know a few things.
You will want to measure the inner diameter of your hub/drums and the depth of the drums to determine what brake assembly dimensions you need. For example the part # AKEBRK-35-SA is a 10 inch by 2-1/4 inch thick brake assembly.
You also want to determine what the bolt pattern is of your assembly mounting flange. The standard size is 4 on 4 inch. You also want to determine the axle capacity of your trailer and go with an assembly that has the same rating, the # AKEBRK-35-SA has a 3,500 lb capacity.
I also attached a help article that covers what is needed to add brakes to a trailer for you to check out as well.
