Parts Needed To Convert Kaufman Mini 5 To Disc Brakes
Question:
What do I need to convert Kaufman Mini 5 car hauler trailer to disc brakes?
asked by: KK T
Expert Reply:
To covert your Kaufman Mini 5 Car Hauler Trailer to disc brakes, you are correct Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR712D will be needed, if you have capacity of 7000 lbs per axle and 8 on 6 1/2 bolt pattern. If your trailer currently has electric over hydraulic drum brakes, you already have a lot of the parts you need for disc brakes. All you will need are disc brakes and a different actuator since discs require a higher PSI rating than the drum brakes do.
The races are included, the inner bearing # 25580, outer bearing # 14125A and the grease seals # RG06-070 are sold separately. Also this kit does require a hydraulic brake actuator # CAR-HBA16-2 and brake lines for the brakes to be activated. It does require them to have a PSI rating of at least 1,500 PSI. If you are converting from electric over hydraulic drum brakes, you don't have to get new brake lines.
If you don't have electric over hydraulic brakes currently, let me know and I can make different recommendations. Also if your axles are a different weight rating and you have a different bolt pattern, let me know. Please check your bearing numbers to make sure they match with my recommendations.
