What Mounting Bolt Pattern Do the 7" Electric Trailer Brakes Mount To

Question:

What is the mounting bolt pattern for the AKEBRK-2? What mounting plate should be used with the AKEBRK-2? What is the amp draw for the AKERK-2? Do you have installation drawings cross section for the AKEBRK-2 when used with a 7 x 1.25 hub AKHD-545-2-2K? Thank you.

The Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 7" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 2,000 lbs # AKEBRK-2 mounts to a 4 bolt brake flange and would have a maximum amp draw of roughly 3.2 amps. These brakes do not come with brake mounting hardware so you'd want to use the Mounting Hardware for 7" Brake Assemblies # BRKH7

These brakes are compatible with the # AKHD-545-2-2K you were looking at as well. We don't have technical drawings or a cross section of this but I can tell you that the drums are 2-7/16" wide, which might be helpful.

I've also linked an installation video of the brakes for you to have a look at, that you might find useful.
