Suitable Calipers
- The SW-AUS-SS is intended for the Australian/Aust-style mechanical trailer brake caliper. Fitment should be determined from the caliper and existing brake-pad shape rather than simply the make of trailer.
Why Stainless Steel Backing?
- Boat trailer brake pads operate in a particularly harsh environment because the braking system can be repeatedly exposed to saltwater, freshwater, road grime and prolonged periods of storage.
- Using a stainless-steel backing plate helps reduce corrosion of the pad backing and is particularly worthwhile on trailers that are frequently launched in saltwater.
Signs Brake Pads Need Replacing
- Inspect or replace the pads when there is low friction-material thickness, uneven wear, cracking, contamination, reduced braking performance, excessive noise or damage to the backing plate.
- When replacing the pads, also inspect the brake rotor, mechanical caliper, adjustment mechanism, actuating arm, brake cable and mounting hardware.
