[QUOTE="condor22, post: 598264, member: 1932"] Assuming you don't have electric brakes in your hubs. It is likely that; 1. The wheel hubs will need to be replaced, in which case they come with the brakes fitted. 2. It is doubtful non braked hubs can be modified, however the next hurdle is find a suitable hub that will fit your current axle configuration. 3. If not, it's a full axle/hub replacement if mods can not be done. Then; 4. The easy bit, running the wiring to your hitch cable plug (I think it is pin 5 on a 7 pin. If your trailer only has a 5 pin this will need replacing. 5. The final part is to install an electric brake controller and associated wiring in your tug. My first suggestion to you, is find a reputable trailer/van repairer, take the trailer and get an assessment and cost. That shouldn't cost you. [i]Do it right, do it once[/i]. :) [/QUOTE]
