Hello all,

I have a 6x12 race trailer that I would like to add brakes to. Has anybody attempted this project with any success? Any recommendations for trailer shops in the Los Angeles area that could do this for me?

Thanks!

I added 4 wheel disc brakes to my boat trailer with parts from Champion Trailer; it's an all hydraulic surge activated system, but you can go electric, disc or drum. I got two new axles, 4 hub/discs and calipers, lines, and surge controller for about $1K. They work great and were not difficult to install.

If that trailer's axle(s) has brake mounting plates, you're in luck; adding brakes will be easy. If not, you'll have to swap out the axle(s). Like Ugly said, Champion should carry everything you need; I put electric brakes on my boat trailer with parts from them (including the axle) and they work great.
