I need to replace the surge brake damper on my 1986 Komet III trailer.
I'm wondering if someone out in ras land has a part number (or
equivalent) and replacement instructions. It appears that Entec, the
former Komet US representative, is no longer active.

I've seen Bruce Greeff's write up for Eberle trailers -

Hey Tony - Why do you think the damper is the problem ?


Because I can activate the surge brake by hand by simply pushing the
coupler back and forth a few inches. There's hardly any resistance.

Usually its not (just adjusted another trailer 2 weeks ago)...
See ya, Dave


It would be nice if I was wrong. :-)
