[PSUBS-MAILIST] Trailer Wars

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Steve,

Good restoration project, but you absolutely, positively must have brakes!
If I had two axles, I'd put brakes on both of them. A few years back
Snoopy's trailer brakes had degraded a bit without me realizing it, and on
a trip to the lakes in WV I totally cooked the truck brakes because they
were doing all the work. I had to replace not just the pads but all four
rotors. The good news is trailer brakes are really simple and if I'm not
mistaken a bolt-on addition.

Best,

Alec
