Can a Surge Brake Actuator be Installed on a Swing Away Trailer Tongue?

Question

Question:

As long as a flexible line is used from the back of the actuator to the point where a T fitting will split the lines to the brakes, there will be no issue using the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator w/ Electric Lockout - Disc # T4747220 with a swing away tongue.

P15 isn't a way to identify what axle you have but if you can find the label/sticker on it that lists it's capacity or get me diameter of it I can see what parts you'd need to add brakes to it.

That is a great photo, thank you; and while there are certain repair parts available for a Titan Model 6, I recommend replacing it altogether. The reason for this is the corrosion looks to have taken its toll on the actuator, and is at the point…

The Wesbar 271594 is a sealed light which means the lens is not replaceable. The only solution is to replace the entire light. The parent company for Wesbar recently changed, so as of May 2023 this particular light is on indefinite backorder. I…
