I'm now the owner of the infamous force racing trailer of death which i'm in the process of sorting out/tarting up.

No handbrake? so front wheel drums or more likely original intended for trailers?

I think its a bastardised caravan chassis so its antique caravan bits you'll need! But on a more serious note you should be able to identify the bearings by measuring them.

Ive contacted a number of trailer places and they seem to think hydraulic brakes on a caravan/trailer with no mechanical system is unheard of. Ta for the link. On 27th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

I've measured the bearings up but couldn't find any vehicles in the catalogue with matching dims to help me identify the rest of the bits. Bought some generic taper roller bearings to suit now so it's the brakes that are the issue. Edited by adcyork on 27th Nov, 2014. |

Not early mini front drums are they? On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

I think if I were doing it I'd probably look to buy some modern backplate assemblies to suit the drum diameter and adapt them to fit. If you did manage to get the hydraulic setup working you'd have to get out if the car to flip a latch over every time you wanted to reverse which is a pain!

In Norway, hydraulic trailer brakes are illegal. Easier to convert to mechanical? On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

if theres a stub axle that also bolts on with those 4 holes. i'd just fit up a whole modern stub axle and brake assembly, eg Astra "G" rear drums? turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

So just to cap this off. I started digging round a bit more and could just about read a part number on one of the hubs that was so shallow that it was only just legible when highlighted with a paint pen.
