It uses a 12-1/4” x 3-3/8” drum and mounts to a standard 4-hole axle flange on the right (passenger) side. The brake is self-adjusting, meaning it automatically maintains the correct gap between the brake shoes and drum as the linings wear, giving consistent braking performance and reducing the need for manual adjustments.
