A friend of mine has a Brenderup horse trailer. The local inspection garages in our area do not want to inspect a Brenderup trailer. Do you know of any Garages in the Allentown, PA area that would inspect this trailer? What is so different about a Brenderup trailer that would cause them to not inspect it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The only thing they need to see is the thickness of the brake pads.   That can be seen thru a little inspection hole on the inside backing plate behind the wheel.  Tell them it's exactly like a '59 ford...   They can see the thickness of the pad using a flashlight.  Same on all four axles.

Don't let them pull the drum unless you have replacement axle nuts.  Those are a one-time-use item.

I had two mechanics in Drums, PA that inspect ours.   See if you can find a trailer dealer that does inspections.

Let me know how you make out.

While you are at it, check the brake application lever to see how many times it clicks when you lift it to apply.  If it clicks 3 or more times you need to take up some of the slack in the cable that goes to the back.  That's pretty simple.


The hole on the left is the inspection hole.   The hole on the right is for adjustment.  Adjustment should ONLY be made when installing new shoes.  

As they wear the only adjustment needed is made with the "number of clicks" described previously.
