    Conversion to UFP (or similar) Trailer Brakes

    I have a tandem axle Ameritrail trailer. The existing surge brake system has been in disrepair for some time, and I would like to overhaul it. At a minimum, I will need new calipers, pads, brake fluid, breakaway cable, and probably a master cylinder. Rather than piece parts together to fit the current system, I am considering upgrading everything to new UFP components (w/complete UFP actuator)

    Are there any UFP kits out there that would include everything I need? Would they mate directly to my current setup, or would I need brackets for calipers etc?

    Suggestions would be appreciated.

    What kind of tongue does your trailer have? If the actuator goes inside the tongue, you need the same actuator. If bolt-on, you can change brands. I’m sure Eastern Marine kits will have almost everything you need.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    My current tongue looks like the ufp a-60 housing.
