Question:

Hello, we have Tri-axle snowmobile trailer with electric brakes, thinking about switching to Disc brakes. See you have a package for tandem brake swap what about a Tri-axle. Thanks

Yes, we have the HydraStar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit - Triple Axle - 15' Long, 1/4" Main Line, # HS496-153. We also have a 25 foot long kit, # HS496-253.

With either kit, I recommend use with the HydraStar Vented Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes - 1,600 psi, # HBA16. This will convert the electric system over to a hydraulic system with the electric motor that pushes the plunger into the hydraulic master cylinder as you brake.

I assume you have 3500 lb axles, and if so, I recommend the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 10" Hub/Rotor - 5 on 4-1/2 - Dacromet - 3,500 lbs, # K2HR35D. This kit will give you the mounting flange, the calipers and pads and the rotors for one axle. You will also need the bearing kit # BK2-100 and the grease cap # RG04-020 for each axle. Grease like # L11390 should be used to pack the bearings.

I've attached some articles to help.
