trailer brake questions

Easy way. You can buy cheap backing plates with brakes, magnets etc. Just bolt them on and attach the wires. 8 hole axles start @ 6000. Read the tag on your trailer. I assume it is 3 axles. The gvwr on the plate or tag divided by the number of axles will be the weight per axle. I changed all six on mine last year. Stops much better now. I think I got black wires. One to the feed, one to ground, ready to race. Also turn the drums and face the magnet surface.
