Replacement Brake Actuator and Braking Assemblies for a Trail-Rite Trailer
Question:
I replaced the master cylinder for this old Trail-Rite trailer, what you offered was a perfect match. Thank you! But I will need wheel brake cylinders for this trailer as well...both started to leak after replacing the master cylinder with the head assembly. I checked the bolt pattern. 4 bolts, at the tips of a square 72mm from each other. My trailer wheels are 14. Not electric, and the hydraulic cylinder only works one way. Can you please offer me brake cylinders/brake assemblies? Thank you

Thanks for the photo! In order to replace the surge brake actuator, I recommend taking a look at the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator part # T43397007K. This actuator is zinc plated for corrosion resistance, will work with 1-7/8"/ 2" hitch balls, and can utilize an electric lockout like # T4748800 for easy reversing. It will fit a 3" wide tongue and comes with a one year warranty. I have attached a review video for you as well.
Unfortunately, we would not have the correct brake cylinder for you. I would be able to provide you with an entirely new braking assembly if you can confirm the brake mounting flange bolt pattern and dimensions of your brakes. Once you do this I have attached our section of hydraulic drum brakes for you to look through.
