I have 7" 1-1/2" fayette brakes on my 21 ft 1980 hi-lo. I've looked at replacing with Dexter's, but the dexters seem to be thinner shoes (7" 1-1/4") and the outer bearing ID size differs (inner = 1-1/16" is same, outer is smaller - 3/4"). Has anyone successfully converted fayette brakes over to Dexter/other without having to replace the axels/etc. If so, what parts? Also, do you have to have the hubs turned when replacing shoes?
I read your message about the fayette
7x1 1/2 brakes. Did you end up using the dexter 1x 1/4 shoes or did you replace every thing with a new assembly ?
Thanks,
Tom
I have four fayette camper wheels, 15 inch, including all the original brake DRUMS, lug bolts, axles, springs, hangers, etc. reply through this forum or (probably better) you can e-mail at
machines at cox dot net
if thru e-mail be SURE your subject header contains fayette wheel in it, or fayette something, at least...
pix of all this already online, will provide you a link...
As far as I knoe Fayette never made a 7" electric brake. Their brake was 7-1/4". The only solution I have fund is to have the old shoes relines or to find a Coleman Trailer dealer that has old Fayette stock.
My trailer (1974 Apache) has Fayette 7-1/4" x 1-1/2" brake shoes. I am unable to locate replacement shoes or magnets for it. Any inexpensive suggestions?
