~~~~~~~~   Feedback from one of the blog readers just a few days after I posted this: 

Hi Jeff, Just wanted to let you know that I ended up ordering through trailer-tek.com.  They were not very helpful with helping me find the exact parts I needed, but I paid $138 (including shipping) for an AK-LO brake shoe kit and 6 safety nuts and they were here in 2 days.  Through Mountain Top it would've been $300+ shipping...ouch.  Here's to hoping I have the right sizes and can get them installed properly!  Thanks for your help and feel free to pass the word on trailer-tek.   Cristin O.  January 9, 2014.   (by Jeff)

another parts supplier from the UK!

This just in from a UK supplier!!

Hi Jeff,

We are one of the UK’s largest Brenderup dealers and we are able to supply most parts, we have not sent items out to the US before but I’m sure we can find a courier that can help with this. The only items I think we may struggle to supply are larger items such as ABS lids and Mesh / extension side kits.

As for brake parts, bearings,  dampers etc we hold most of these in stock.

We are in the process of rebuilding or website and we should have most of the parts listed on there in the coming months.

Let me know exactly what parts you required and I can get back to you with some prices

kind regards

Good Morning from a hot Southern Illinois!  Hope your rides include shade and your travels include back roads and horses...

This post is just to let you know that, although I'm not directly involved with horses and trailers any longer, I'm still the engineer and tinker who put all these ideas together and I get calls for assistance often.

The phone is the quickest way to reach me... I don't always see emails as quickly as I would like.

Travel safe and let's keet the Brenderups on the road!

Safety Brake Trip Wire fix

... now I have a new question(thanks goodness for your blog!).  Someone took the clip at the end of my safety cable(the one attached to the emergency hand brake)and in doing so, shredded some of the cable wires so I think I need to replace the whole thing.  It appears that I can bend the hook attached to the brake itself and take the whole thing off...what would you replace it with?  I'm guessing Ace hardware in Davis may carry wire cable but I would need to find a way to hook it at one end and attache it to the hitch on the other.   K. B.

Thanks for asking,,, 

I'll bet that clip came unhooked and was drug a few miles...   Go to a farm supply store (Ace or Rural King or Tractor Supply) and seek help.  They sell the wire cables, fasteners to create a loop in the cable, 'caribeener' clips to replace the missing one.  You should at least add a few inches of cable so that it doesn't become too short and bind when making turns or something... if that trips the brakes your trailer will stop on a dime.

My daughter didn't have the hitch secured and the trailer came unhitched on a railroad crossing.   The system worked and stopped the trailer.   Then they had to replace that "trip-wire" altogether.

Glad I could help again!

Hi Jeff,

My name is Jackie  and I am writing you from Springfield, Kentucky.

I bought a Brenderup about three years ago.  I have notice that the outside surface is getting black and really looks bad.  I was wondering if you might have

any suggestions or know where I can look to help to correct this.

Best Wishes,

Jackie

Hi, Jackie!   Thanks for writing. I use car wash detergent and a Mister Clean Magic Eraser.   Hose the loose stuff off.  Maybe at a car wash hand held sprayer, and then go over the entire trailer with erasers.   I like the ones with the blue backing... they last longer.   I do the windows and everything with the erasers.   They don't leave scratches but you want to rinse them if they bet grit in them. Ours is about 10 years old and looks like new. Send pics, before and after, if you can. Travel safe! Jeff
