Overview
The BF-6-1 is a weld-on steel backing plate flange for compatible 12" x 2" trailer drum brakes. It uses the common round 5-bolt mounting pattern frequently found on 5,200 lb, 6,000 lb and 7,000 lb axle applications. It may be used when adding compatible brakes to an axle without mounting flanges or when replacing a damaged flange.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Designed for compatible 12" x 2" trailer drum brakes using a round 5-bolt mounting flange.
Axle Application: This flange style is commonly used on 5,200 lb, 6,000 lb and 7,000 lb trailer axle applications. Capacity is only an application reference and does not guarantee fitment.
Pattern Difference: Many modern 7" and 10" trailer drum brakes use a square 4-bolt flange. This BF-6-1 flange uses a different round 5-bolt configuration.
Installation Notes: Confirm flange position, alignment and brake-to-drum relationship before final welding.
