• Using Surge Brake Actuator on Trailer with Fold-Away Coupler Hinge

• Are There Replacement Bushings for Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kits
  I cannot speak for all fold-away coupler hinge kits but the ones we offer, the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit part # FHDPB230101, part # FHDPB330301, and part # FHDPB350101 do not contain any bushings. It can be rather difficult to just look at a bolt or hinge pin and determine whether or not it has stretched or deformed but I would be willing to bet that is the issue you are having. The loose connection between these bolts and pins is a rather serious safety issue so I highly recommend...

  If you made just one cut on the trailer tongue, it would not lengthen it by that much because you will cut the hinge kit # FHDPB330301 all the way on the two ends of the tongue until they stop and the metal is about a 1/2 thick so you are looking at about a 1/2 inch of additional length.

• Tongue Weight Capacity Changes When Trailer Tongue Hinge Kit Is Installed
  Trailer tongues have a specific capacity based on their length.

For that reason Fulton has created a chart that shows how much of the tongue weight capacity is lost when you install the hinge kit. I have attached a drawing of the chart that has the weight capacity listed depending on the placement of the hinge and pivot point. I have...

• Can Washers Be Used To Space The Fulton Coupler Hinge Kit to 2-1/2" X 2-1/2" Trailer Tongue?
  You are going to need to sleeve your trailer tongue as washers will not provide adequate support for your tongue inside the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit # FHDPB330301. Since you mentioned having a galvanized frame I recommend having some sleeves welded inside the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit # FHDPW330300 and having that assembly galvanized. Then you can drill holes to bolt the hinge with the sleeves to your existing trailer tongue.

• Differences Between the Fulton Coupler Hinge Kits FHDPB330301 and FHDPB330303
