Don't waste your time and money on butchering your trailer. There are
a couple of ways to get an ALKO trailing link axle.

#1. Williams Soaring usually have them (and other Cobra parts) in
stock, exactly as the ones from Spindelberger. Uses your existing
brake system, including the hand brake.

#2. Axle Incorporated in Elkhart Indiana are an ALKO distributor.
Their axles are custom ordered, but have hydraulic (say goodbye to the
parking brake) or electric (incompatible with 90% of glider towing
vehicles) brakes. I put a hydraulic brake ALKO axle on my Nimbus
trailer. It bolted right on.

I miss the parking brake with the hydraulic system. Anyone have a
parking brake mod for hydraulic brakes? ... Other than wheel chocks or
the dog bowl under the nose wheel.
