Electric Drum Brake Mounting Bolt Pattern on Dexter Trailer Brake # 23-105

Question

Question:

Can you tell me the 5 bolt mounting pattern of your 23-105,6 Dexter 2X12 brake assembly? I have an ancient utility trailer with 3 7/8inch bolt pattern with 3/8inch bolts that I am trying to match. Thank you for your help.

The Dexter Trailer Brake # 23-105 you referenced uses a common ALKO 5-bolt mounting pattern: 5 on 3-7/8-inches. The matching brake flange for this pattern is # 4-44-1 which fits 3-inch round axles.
