Glad to see many like-minded folks! I spent some time today studying how I will work this. Definitely going with stainless tube as I have nearly enough tube left over from various projects! I just need to find out what fittings are on the calipers so I can order the hose whips. Checked last week and I can buy the controller and disc conversions from a local trailer builder. Will get everything together for a March install.

So, I've gotten my layout for lines and parts list together for those. I'm fairly decided on the electric-to-hydraulic unit. Where I'm still undecided is to stick with greased bearings and just leap to oil bath. My other trailers - car carrier, dump, and tilt all are oil bath and are a pleasure to deal with.
Anyone gone oil bath with their disc swap?Rob & Nikki + Cloverfield

I would probably go oil bath for anything new

Yes, I can for the Dexter Axles I have on the 3350. The Dexter disc brake conversions can be had with oil bath, grease or never lube. Reading through the forums, many folks have converted with the Kodiak/Titan discs since the two popular kit assemblers use them. The Kodiak/Titan gear doesn't seem to have oil bath available until the 10K axles. I stopped into my local trailer shop to go through catalogs and pricing, and for small dollar difference I can have my choice. Huge difference in wholesale pricing for Dexter vs. retail! The electric-to-hydraulic units - not so much!

I started a disc conversion on my 397th Momentum yesterday. Taking my time making sure it's a clean install. The only thing that worries me is in the unfortunate event of a tire blow out and it taking out the brake lines.....
