I bought my first set of electrics backing plates with the new drums required from Kelys Hayes. There were good. I used a distributor of theirs but still had to pay freight on the drums which were pretty heavy. My second set of backing plates I bought from Dexter at the factory. There is another place that sells backing plates fairly cheap Trailer Parts Superstore - Recreational & Commercial Trailer Parts Dealer Since 1981 which I have not used but several people in our unit say they are good.

The brand that I used may be out of business now. I’d look up “hydraulic disc brake actuator “ on the internet. My Actibrake connected right to the brake line when I took the old vacuum booster off. It does need 30 amps of power to run it though and most umbilicals don’t have a 10 gauge wire on the brake wire. You also need a good ground .

Awesome! Thanks for the information. I contacted Waymires in Indianapolis to purchase replacement axles that include all the necessary brake parts. This has opened up another door. They are asking for multiple measurements and degrees of lift. I’ve read where some are opting for a higher degree lift when they replace the axles, but I don’t exactly know which option to select. Any advise is appreciated. Happy 4th of July!

If you purchase the axles through Inland RV or Colin Hyde you only need to provide VIN. No measurements are necessary and therefore no chance for error.
