Choosing Parts to Convert Trailer to Electric Brakes
Question:
I want to change to electric breaks but can not find items that appear to match the size that I have. How can I send you photos so you can help me build a list of parts needed? Thanks.

A good starting point for your trailer brake conversion is the linked article that covers the components required. These will vary depending on the current set-up of your trailer. Among the things to consider for selecting electric drum brake assemblies is your axle capacity, type of brake flanges (if any) currently on your trailer and the diameter and depth of your current hub/drums.
The article will guide you through the items you need to confirm and if you wish you can certainly submit photos to us on the question submission page.
I have also linked you to our main page for electric drum brake assemblies where you can use the filters at the left-hand margin to narrow the products shown to those that meet your requirements.
