DISC BRAKES WHAT DO YOU THINK?

[Wireman]

I just bought Kodiak discs on Ebay for my tandom trailer
I got the Silver Cadmium plated rotors and callipers with all bearings lug nuts and caps for $225.00 per axle which I thought
was very reasonable.I'll report back once I install them
Cheers.

Just wondering if you are also replacing the actuator as well. Disc brakes need a specific actuator that will allow a connection to your back up lights. When you put your vehicle into reverse the actuator is deactivated so that the disc don't lock up and prevent you from backing up, especially up a slope.

No I'm replacing the acuator,I've been reading upon on trailler disc brake conversions and all you need to do is take out the master cylinder and drill out the orifice using a 1/16inch drill bit and your done.Instead of having to install a solenoid conected to the master which is electrically conected to your back up light cct.
