Time to replace the brake shoes on the trailer. Last time I checked, the complete backing plate assembly was $25 less than just shoes. That being said. Can I swap manufacturers of backing plate assemblies? Will tie down engineering interchange with titan/dico?

The trailer has dico 15638-a drums. I measured 10 x 2.5 so I'm guessing these are 10 x 2 1/4.

The tie down assemblies are $15 less than the Titan.

Anyone from the BTDT crowd who can verify?

I can say for sure that Dexter will bolt on where Titan was removed from a 6200 lb axle.
