This half shell is specifically designed for ALKO brake systems.
It is suitable for ALKO brake cables where the end shroud has a diameter of 26mm.
No, this half shell is not compatible with KNOTT brake cables.
You will typically need two of these half shells for each brake cable assembly.
It is manufactured from steel for strength and durability.
The finish is a black powder coating, providing resistance to rust and corrosion.
This part is fitted on some older versions of Ifor Williams trailers made before 1992.
Ensure you are using this half shell with an ALKO brake system and that the brake cable end shroud is precisely 26mm in diameter. Verify that the back plate itself is designed to accept this type of fitting.
Check for any obstructions or damage on the brake back plate where the half shell is intended to mount. Ensure the correct half shell (fixed or removable) is being placed in its intended position.
While powder-coated, prolonged exposure to harsh environments can still cause rust. Ensure the component is kept clean and dry when possible. Address any minor chips or scratches to the coating promptly.
Setup:
This half shell fits into the rear brake back plate. One half shell is typically welded or permanently fastened to the back plate, while the second half shell is designed to be removable, allowing the brake cable to be fed over it and secured. You will need two of these half shells per brake cable for a complete installation.
