"Tie Down now makes stainless steel disc brakes which will fit our 13" wheels"
I'd verify that with Tiedown. The last time I checked (maybe 2 years ago), their 9.6 inch disc system would fit, but their 10 inch systems (steel or stainless steel rotors) would not. I've got 10 of these 9.6 inch kits on 3 boat trailers. Not one salt water based (or any other) problem yet, and some of them are over 4 years old. That compares to nothing but problems on the 10 sets of drum brakes that they all replaced. The rotor surface gets cleaned off the first time you hit the brakes. But stainless would probably be better (and more expensive) if they'd actually fit on our 13 inch wheels.
