<div dir="ltr">Hi Steve,<div><br></div><div>Good restoration project, but you absolutely, positively must have brakes! If I had two axles, I'd put brakes on both of them. A few years back Snoopy's trailer brakes had degraded a bit without me realizing it, and on a trip to the lakes in WV I totally cooked the truck brakes because they were doing all the work. I had to replace not just the pads but all four rotors. The good news is trailer brakes are really simple and if I'm not mistaken a bolt-on addition.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br>Alec</div><div><br></div><div> </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 24, 2014 at 8:28 AM, hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>
Hi Steve,<br>
Nice trailer! great job, love the torque flex axels.<br>
I notice you don't have brakes, I didn't realize the K250 was that light. May I suggest a brace from the frame to support the middle of the fender. It will bend if it is a step, you might have one already, just can't see it.<br>

I recently<br>
finished rebuilding an older K-250 trailer. For anyone<br>
interested I posted on our site a few photos and comments. <br>

Projects/Other/K-250 Trailer Rebuild<br>
<br>
The main improvement was the addition of a<br>
trailer mounted tongue extension system. I also added some<br>
1/4" thick PFTE strips on the skid plates. I am<br>
anxious to see if it holds up and provides some slickness.<br>
<br>
I can now take it somewhere and get a weight for<br>
it since it is "done".<br>
<br>
I would like to see more "trailer"<br>
photos posted.<br>
