Availability of a 3 inch on 4 Bolt Mounting Flange Brake Assembly
Question:
Looking to replace drum brakes on my boat trailer. 32 ft Tri axle. 3500 axles. Problem is the backing plate spacing is 3x3inch on 4 holes. It.s an old trailer 1987. Do I need to switch axles? Couldnt find that spacing only 4x4 Thanks,

Expert Reply:
Your easiest solution would be to replace your axles, we don't carry any brake assemblies that will bolt up to a 4 on 3 inch bolt pattern so you would be looking at either replacing the spindles on your trailer which would be kind of a pain, or to just replace the axles all together.
We carry one 3,500 lb axle with brake assemblies and drums already installed on it. For that you would want the # 35545E-ST-89. But you would need to make sure the dimensions of this axle match what you need. This axle has a hub face to hub face dimension of 89 inches and a leaf spring center to center measurement of 74 inches. If this doesn't match what you need you would need to find a local trailer shop to have the axles ordered in.
