    1996 drum brakes ?

    Can someone please tell me who makes the brake parts for my trailer ? 96 drum.
    I will need to purchase complete brake assemblies with new drums and master cylinder. Everything but the brake lines and the actuator it's welded to my trailer frame. My brakes have never worked sense I've owned it ( 4 years ) and I'm tired of the clunking. It's only a 18' Eyra and I tow with a one ton van. I wanna start with all new. I know Bass Cat made a fine trailer but they didn't make the brakes.

    I’d consider switching to disks if you have to change everything.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    I have a 1996 Nitro with dual axle trailer and drum brakes on both axles. Just installed new dacromet coated backing plates, free backing, did away with the backup solenoid on my master cylinder and installed a new master cylinder. Pretty easy job and the brakes work better than when I bought the boat new. I spent about $300. I looked at switching to disc brakes, but it would have been too much $$$.

    Post a picture of you actuator. Likely nobody but BCB has any idea which one is on your trailer.

    Thanks for the help everyone.
    Bass Cat used to have the complete actuator assembly with master cylinder on the website. But not anymore.
    Hoping to find the manufacturer name to research online.
