Do You Carry A Replacement Box For Engager Trailer BreakAway Kit Part # 20099

Question

Question:

I see listed a replacement lid for this kit with the battery charge indicator LEDs. My problem is the battery box itself is broken. Two of the three mounting tabs broke off. The lid is still in new shape. Do you also carry the battery box?

Yes, I contacted our representative at Hopkins and he informed me that the replacement box that you will need is the Engager Trailer Breakaway Kit part # HM20120. Part # HM20120 also includes a lid, but is interchangeable with the LED lid that you have.
