Sankey trailer brake overhall

Being as there is a few on here with sankey trailers ..I thought I would share my brake update .

Done a lot of digging and eventually found what all the bits are .

Basically it's all ford stuff .. But the disks have to be drilled out to fit on the hubs

Pads

Used in lots of cars .. Here's a few









Seal kit



Calipers

Here's a list of what they fit ( this is for the N/S )



Disks

These start life as MK3 Granada rears



Old and new



After being machined out



Bleed nipple

M10 - 1.0 thred



So basically that's all the parts .

I put a new seal kit in each caliper , pair of new machined disks , new pads , new bleed nipples and fresh supply of DOT 4 brake fluid

Also painted the leaf springs while I was there .

I also ended up painting the calipers as they looked naff with all the other new stuff .




















All bled and taken for a test drive Thumbs Up

Just about to do all my discs/pads on mine.
Have managed to get the brake fluid diverter too so will get that all done together.

Only question is you seem to have a coil spring on your trailer which I did't notice in your other build threads.
Is this because of the weight in the trailer? What one is this and where did you get it from?

The off position will allow the fluid to flow and in reverse the 12v from the reverse lights will stop flow to the brakes.

Thanks for the link Greg. Will see about getting them springs. Probably best to get them now at the start of the build.

Sending my discs to Rakeway to get machined to fit.

How much did the machining cost, or do you have your own kit?

Not sure yet. I emailed them pics of what I wanted done. They've said they can do it no problem just need to call to book it in and get a price.
