Brake Flange, 4 on 4
Brake Flange, 4 on 4
The Brake Flange, 4 on 4 is a brake mounting flange with a 4-on-4-inch bolt pattern for lighter trailer axles, available at Skipper B Trailers in Westwego, Louisiana. This flange welds onto the trailer axle tube and provides the bolt-on mounting surface where the brake backing plate attaches. The 4-on-4-inch bolt pattern — four holes spaced on a 4-inch bolt circle — matches the lighter brake assemblies found on smaller single axle boat trailers and light utility trailers. The four bolt holes in the flange align with the corresponding holes in the brake backing plate, creating the rigid connection that keeps the brake assembly secured to the axle and properly positioned relative to the hub and drum.
Louisiana boaters running lighter trailers with brakes need the correct flange bolt pattern when building axles, repairing brake mounts, or replacing a damaged flange. The 4-on-4 pattern is specific to the lighter brake systems — the smaller backing plates and lighter brake assemblies designed for the axle capacities found on single axle trailers carrying 14-18 foot boats and light utility loads. A flange with the wrong bolt pattern won't align with the brake backing plate, making installation impossible. A damaged flange — cracked from road impact, corroded from years of saltwater launches at Bayou Segnette State Park, Lake Pontchartrain, and the ramps across Jefferson Parish and the Greater New Orleans West Bank, or warped from heat during braking — must be replaced to maintain proper brake alignment. A misaligned brake assembly causes uneven shoe wear, reduced braking effectiveness, and potentially dangerous braking on Interstate 10, Highway 90, the Westbank Expressway, and the roads between Westwego, Marrero, Harvey, and Gretna. Whether you're a trailer builder fabricating a light axle with brakes, a marine repair shop replacing a damaged flange during brake service in Greater New Orleans, Fishing Fanatic Frank fixing a brake mount on his lighter boat trailer, or any operator servicing light-duty brake components, this 4-on-4 flange provides the correct bolt pattern.
At $2.25, this brake flange provides the correct 4-on-4 bolt pattern mounting surface at minimal cost. Welds onto the axle tube at the brake mounting position. Verify your brake backing plate matches the 4-on-4-inch bolt pattern before ordering. Perfect for axle fabrication, brake mount repair, flange replacement, and light-duty trailer brake service throughout Southeast Louisiana.
