Whether you're tearing up trails on your go kart, hauling supplies in your yard cart, or exploring dunes on your mini bike, having reliable brakes is essential for safety and control. This universal 4" rear drum brake band and cable kit is designed to provide consistent, dependable stopping power across a wide range of off-road vehicles and equipment.
What makes this brake kit truly special is its universal design philosophy. Unlike brake systems that require precise measurements or specific axle sizes, this kit doesn't attach directly to the axle, making it theoretically compatible with any size live axle. The brake drum features a universal mounting hole pattern with both 5/16" and 3/8" bolt holes, ensuring compatibility with most wheel brake hubs. This means whether you own a Manco Bandit, Critter, Predator 212cc/420cc, Rotary 484, Azusa 2251-B, or similar model, this brake kit is likely to work perfectly out of the box.
Engineered for durability, the brake band measures 0.99" (25mm) wide and 0.24" (6mm) thick, providing substantial surface area for effective braking without excessive wear. The outside diameter of 4.84" (123mm) and inside diameter of 4.37" (111mm) ensure proper fit and function, while the brake drum's 4.2" (107mm) outside diameter provides a smooth, even braking surface. The thoughtful design includes a hole on either end of the brake band—one end fastens to a stud mounted on the cart while still allowing pivoting, and the other end connects to your brake rod for intuitive operation.
This comprehensive kit includes everything you need for a straightforward installation: 1 brake drum, 1 brake band, 1 brake pin (screw included), 1 brake cable, and 1 wrench. The all-in-one approach eliminates the need for multiple shopping trips or special orders, getting you back on the trail or in the yard faster. The included wrench makes adjustments simple, while the pre-drilled holes and clear design ensure even beginners can achieve proper brake alignment and tension.
