Is There an Add-On Part to Make Manual Brakes Self-Adjusting?
Question:
I just put on new brakes on my trailer. But I did not realize that the brakes I order were manual adjustment brakes. Is there a part I can add to them to make them a self adjustment brake system, with out ordering new brakes again.

Helpful Expert Reply:
To get the self adjusting brakes, you would need to get the Dexter # 23-468-469. This is a set of right and left hand brakes and will match your current brakes. Unfortunately, there is not a part that can be added to manual adjusting brakes that will make them self adjusting.
