Kodiak Stainless Steel Disc Brakes
Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2011 10:55 am
Hi,
I took my trailer to the local shop to get them to upgrade the brakes to 4 wheel disc brakes as has been much discussed here. After considering many options I decided to spend the $$ to go with stainless steel as I dunk the trailer in salt water a lot and store it next to the bay . I went with 2 set of the 2/RCM-10-SS ALL STAINLESS STEEL BRAKE KIT and Attwood Actuator / Master Cylinder . Also put new SS brake lines in.
The sizing says it needs 14 wheels but the shop was able to fit the kits within the 13 inch wheels by grinding a small amount off the caliper - they said it was easy...
It cost me a pretty penny but now I will feel better when I am towing the boat up to (and especially down from !) Lake Tahoe which requires me to cross the 7000 ft Donner pass en route.
Attached are some pics..
