They tell me you need the heavy axle with the square backing plate in order
to install brakes. A local guy said coupler, drums lines etc were about $
500.00 CDN.
If I get the surge brakes for salt water use, I'll go 1st class with the
surge type, stainless steel disc brakes.
This plus the heavy axle added about $ 1000.00 CDN to the price of a new
galvanized trailer.
