    no real cheap way of doing it unless you can source the parts cheap,

    I am guessing override brakes ? So you will need new coupling,new axle unless the old one has the clearance to fit the disk caliper bracket and the stub axles fit the the new hub, new hub/disk,calipers,brake lines, maybe larger rims if yours dont clear.

    I have built about 8 trailers in the last few years, and converted 3 from non braked to braked

    sweet, have checked there is plenty of clearance, the trailer was originally built with the option for disk brakes designed in so I need coupler, hubs, brakes, disks...

    Yes they are available, but it comes as part of a kit with all ghe other seals... new ones are circa $250+gst, reconditioned circa $200+gst,the seal kit I think is about $160+gst...

    Really! Theres only one dam seal in the cylinder! Maybe ill locate a second hand one from somewhere.

    Cheers

    Kit does all the cylinder\'s seals I believe, I never bothered and just bought a new one.

    If this is how the Club is going to treat new people, then that\'s really not on.

    All the mod had to do was either move the thread to the wanted section, or in this case lock it because OP had started a thread in the appropriate section.

    It\'s moments like this where new people, even if they\'re not going to stick around should be treated with some decency.

    Clubsub isn\'t run or monitored by monkeys, so lets not have monkey like posts coming from moderators (except for the off topic section)

    /rant.

    When people reply to posts like he has below I think the response he got is quite moderated...

    The downshifting while slowing down comes into its own when driving larger vehicles, mainly to do with exhaust/engine brakes, but even doing it in any vehicle allows better control if anything goes wrong like say losing brakes or foot slipping of brake pedal.

    I have been driving for so long I double de clutch on downshifts in every thing, its a bad habit in syncroed vehicles but by christ i cant help myself :)

    Oh yea thats another thing he wae\'ed on about, was my habit of downshfting and using the handbrake at traffic lights/intersections, I got taught nearly 25 year ago, you stop, you apply handbrake - period...

    Anyway, I well remember driving landrovers & Mogs offroad and using gearing to keep control and help slow it down...

    10 and 2 ? 0r 9 and 3 ?

    Lucky you didnt do the emergency response driver, they expected the "shuffle" steering, they can go jump And i told the instructor that too, it may of been ok 25 years ago with crap/no power steering but it does not fly in the modern trucks

    Hahahaha 10 & 2

    Nah he has a colleuge that blah blah\'s on about that apparently...

    I am one of those 1 handed drivers (and thumb out of steering wheel - Landrover driving habits die hard)

    I do all our driver assessments, I look for the ability to remain within the law ( indicating is my particular bug bear) I also look at vehicle placement on the road in particular while cornering,and the ability of looking after the vehicle ( gear changing at the right revs neither to high or low) no heavy braking.

    mind you I am hoping as these are bus drivers that they have driven a bit before hand( and no most are useless)

    Sweet

    Went and [pretty much as you said.

    They looked for smooth safe driving, his particular bugbear seemed to be hands on the steering wheel and not down-shifting when decelerating...

    I did reasonably well, only them fooking hands aye...
