I thought I would post s ome pics of the brake installation. These are DAC coated discs for 10" wheels, and I got a good price on them from Humphreystrailerparts.com. They were cheaper than any body else online...at least as far as my search went, and they were extremely helpful with my questions during installation . I got the Titan actuator and flexible brake line kit from Eastern marine, and that was a best price decision as well. Total cost ran around $750, but it was well worth it to be safe on the highway.

That looks like a great job - four wheel disk brakes - very cool.

Obviously I need to reduce the pics from the cell phone next time. I considered only brakes on one axle, but because I have the smaller 10" wheels therefore the disc are only 8", I was concerned that I might have an overheating problem, and what the heck..I was already doing the job with all the tools at hand. Cost about 250.00 per axle for the hardware, but its done. Pulled to the river yesterday and everything worked great.
