    Brake Conversion

    Your spot on. I was measuring the wrong item. It is 5. The spacing is really odd. It makes for the complication of replacement. So this would not be a good idea to use as a way to install brakes ? **** it. I just want brakes..lol Thanks for the info.

    That was my thought as well. I was trying to figure a way to use the cable brake system , but I don't see how I would be able to do that. So I thought electric brakes should not be that difficult to put on, I need a TM for this trailer.. It is a light trailer.(As in Lightbulb.)

    Brake Conversion

    That would not be easy! I would have to then put springs and the such on the trailer. It does not have springs like the M101's. I will try to get a picture of what the suspension looks like. Maybe that would help..

    GL payment with paypal

    I prefer to use the Payal option. HOWEVER on my last purchase GL did the same to me. I almost lost three trailers. They never removed the money from paypal but were more than happy to use the CC on file. Go figure. They get a kickback bonus for the amount of CC's processed. Joke.
