• Is There a Fold-Away Trailer Tongue Coupler Kit for a 3x4 Trailer Frame
  I do have a fold-away trailer tongue coupler kit that will work on a 3x4 trailer frame, the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit part # FHDPB350101. That said, you will need to use shims/spacers to fill the rest of the gap. This is actually explained in the instructions and very common so no need to worry.

• 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...

• Is It Okay To Use Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes On a Trailer With a Folding Tongue?
  I have never seen any issues with a Fold-Away Coupler Hinge # FHDPB350101 being used with an Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Kit # HS381-9067. These coupler hinges are tested for all the forces applied under regular towing conditions including the trailer brakes pulling the trailer away from your truck when stopping.

• Can the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit Still be Installed Inversely
  I spoke with my contact at Fulton and as long as the part that swings away when using the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit # FHDPB350101 is not very long (which is doesn't appear to be) you will be just fine. If it were fairly long then you could see some deflection (or warping) in the long run.

• Tongue Size on Fulton Fold-Away Trailer Coupler Hinge Kit, Part # FHDPB350101
  The Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit, part # FHDPB350101, is intended for use on steel (but not aluminum) boat trailers that have a tongue size of 3 x 5 inches.

I contacted Shorelandr and confirmed that your steel trailer PT2440T has a 3 x 5 tongue (about 78 inches in length); this will mate properly with the Fulton coupler....

• Replacement Fold Away Surge Brake Coupler for Disc Brake Trailer
  I do have a recommendation as Titan no longer makes their brake actuator with the fold away tongue hinge you are looking for. You will be able to use either a 3"x4" Hinge # FHDPB340301 with the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX29FR. Or we have the 3"x5" Hinge # FHDPB350101 with the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX56FR. You will need to acquire a short leg of either the 3"x4" or 3"x5" tubing for connecting the hinge kit to the actuator.

  For a 3x4 inch frame the best hinge kit would be the part # FHDPB350101. This is for a 3 x 5 inch frame but you could have 1/2 inch spacers welded to either side of the channel and it would and work just fine.

• Is The Mounting Hardware for the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit Available Separately
  Hey Kelly, sorry to hear about all the issues you're having but it does not look like those nuts are sold separately oddly enough. So, what you're going to have to do is, either get them at a local hardware store or get the entire kit # FHDPB350101 and use the nuts that come with it. Fulton, for whatever reason, does not offer their mounting hardware separate.

• Selecting New Flexible Brake Line After Coupler Hinge Kit Install on Trailer
  You will need to shorten the existing brake line by coiling it inside the stationary part of the tongue (always coil from the top down not bottom up or sideways) or by cutting the line, reinstalling the fitting in the correct direction on the line and double flaring the end of the cut brake line. Make sure that you do not install a flexible line that is too short, which would be damaged when the coupler is opened. Also keep in mind if you install a flexible line that is too long, it could...

• Flexible Brake Line for a Trailer with a Folding Tongue Coupler
  The Titan brake line # T0980100 is 25 inches long and should work for you since you are adding the reverse electric lock out. You will want the flexible line to be long enough to not bind or put stress on the rest of the brake lines when the coupler is folded in. It will need to go from the back of the master cylinder, or in this case back of the lockout solenoid, past the hinge.

• How To Replace Brake Lines Inside Fold Away Trailer Tongue
  Hello John, thanks for reaching out. Generally the brake line would be coiled inside the stationary part of the tongue, so you can pull it out and service it when needed. If you are unable to pull the line out to replace it, I am afraid there is really no easy way to get inside the tongue to loosen the lines. Unless you can find someone with some really small hands lol, they only way to replace things would be to pull the lines out the back of the tongue and start over. Make sure you...

• Why Do Some Trailers have a Coiled Brake Line
  The pressure in a brake line is a constant regardless of whether one line is longer or not. Some people will say it is so the lines are equal length for pressure but the brake fluid cannot be compressed so the line length difference doesn't affect anything. In some cases it is easier to coil lines (in a downward spiral) than it is to have to cut and flare the lines to length. Also, with hard brake lines some of the components the lines attach to are fixed, like the frame or the actuator....

• Swing-Away Tongue For Aluminum Trailer With Galvanized Steel Tongue
  For your aluminum trailer with a galvanized steel tongue (swing-away tongues cannot be used on aluminum tongues), you'll need a die-cast steel tongue with a zinc finish from Fulton.
