I need to replace either the master cylinder or the connector that takes the brake pipe into the cylinder block. The original connector is not a standard (modern) hydraulic link size and makes too much of a severe angle to allow connection to a replacement pipe without cutting a biggish chunk of stainless out of the draw-bar extensions.

Thought about a couple of actuators to raise / lower .. But that's just lazy
Sun shining at the back !!!! Turn the trailer round
They don't actually have to see any sunshine ... As long as its light .. That's all they needG4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Yep I did a bit embarrasing really, I thought I had got to the end of the thread and then realised there were more pages and you had actually finished the project. I removed the post after a minute or so and didn't think anyone woulld spot it. I am now reading the remainder of the thread. Brill job and thanks for the tyre info.

Nice color, was hoping you could point me in the direction of the best supplier of the hot water system in your trailer, you must have found the best setup by now? A few mods... and keeping it all running...Faultmate MSV2
