Since the Tandem Axle Jeep Style Trailer Fenders # HP42VR have an aluminum construction, I don't recommend using the Backing Plate # HP72FR with it because the backing plate is made of steel.

If you want this same style of fender but you want the option to add the backing plate then I recommend picking up the cold rolled steel version instead:

- Tandem Axle Jeep Style Trailer Fenders - Cold Rolled Steel # HP62VR

Then you can use the Backing Plate # HP72FR and Mounting Brackets # CE26098G-2 to complete your installation.

It appears TMW is a overseas company which I could not find much information. The 46210 is a common hub number for a 3,500lb idler hub with 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. This would use either the Idler Hub #AKIHUB-545-35-G-K for standard spindles or…

You're correct. The repalcement for your existing B12EA-22 brake would be #AKEBRK-7R-SA for the right side and #AKEBRK-7L-SA for the left.
