Thread: Need some help on my trailer.

    Well,
    I am in a spot and need some help. Last weekend I realized my trailer brakes were not working and Ducky gave me a few things to check
    http://www.***boat.com/forums/showthread.php?t=165405
    I found a mess. I bought the new parts but it was cheaper to buy a whole new unit than just the parts.
    so, I need to replace the acutator on my trailer for the brakes. I have a choice to either gut the new one and put the new parts in the old one or cut off the old one and weld on the new one. I have a competitive trailer and it is all shaped on the front as you all know.
    I am a decent welder but since this is more critical than any other welding I have ever done I thought I might as well ask for help.
    I have a welder Miller 175 with a bottle I would just need someone experienced in this sort of thing.
    I live in Tucson, unfortunatly not in town, I live in Rancho Sahuarita.
    If anyone can help give me a call. I am trying to get to Bartlett this weekend so I need to figure this out pretty quick.

    I personally would weld( well not myself but a welding shop) some sqaure tube up fron and them bolt the actuator on rather then weld. That way if there is ever a prob latter I just need a wrench to take it off rather then a grinder.

    I was looking at the unit and they even gave me bolts for just that. I think I will just do that.
    It may be faster and in the long run easier to replace if it fails again.
    Sorry for the double post the board went down and I did not see the first one.
    Off to grinding the old on off.
    Thanks
