Introducing our superb quality trailer back plate for the 203x40 brake system as used by KNOTT - This size of brake shoes is often found on Brian James or Indespension Trailers or some Wessex Trailers, There may be other types of trailer but the main thing is that if you have the 203x40 brake drum that takes KNOTT style brakes then this is the backplate for you.

If you have the older LOCKHEED brake system then you will probablt struggle to find the backplates etc so you can use these backplates, you will also then need the associated parts including brake shoes etc and then weld these backplates into place and the brakes will work but of course you are upgrading to the KNOTT system so will need to have new brake cables (KNOTT or KNOTT type) which we also sell.

If you need the 'associated parts', which serve as the perfect replacement for drums utilizing the 203x40mm Knott braking systems or can be used to replace the backplate and brake shoes on older 200x38 Lockheed or Rice Richardson braking systems then please select this option on the purchase menu.
