Old trailer brake parts

[lt1fire]

The trailer i'm looking at is a frame for a 1971 jayco popup.

Has surge brakes but looks different from all the surge brake parts i've seen for sale online and on other trailers.

Looks like this

I don't know if the work yet.... heading back over today to test it but if not it is pretty straight forward to replace the parts. I just can't find a MC that looks anything like that on the trailer parts stores.


Any leads???

well went over and messed around with the trailer.... took it for a ride but couldn't get the brakes to activate. No heat from the hubs after a drive and quick breaking.

Liberal WD40 and a little tapping with a hammer freed up the MC.


Fluid started squirting out the hard line half way down the frame.

Don't have a flaring tool anymore... may do soft line the whole way back and go from there.
