    BRAKE CONVERSION drum to Electric over hydraulic Disc

    Has anyone done a brake conversion like this.
    I am looking at improving my braking on my 385. We have a different gooseneck trailer 24,000 GVW that has the electric over hydraulic system and man that thing stops on a dime.......
    wondering how hard and expensive it would be to convert.
    any input greatly appreciated.

    I bought all the components from Etrailer to convert mine. Caliper brackets bolted on in place of drum backing plate. Replaced seals and bearings. Mounted pump in front compartment, ran brake line on top of belly pan to the back of the drop down,,then secured it to edge of frame using clamps using the bolts used to bolt belly pan to frame. Not very hard to do, in my opinion.

    I used this: http://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Brak.../K2HR712E.html
    Lines and bearings they recommended, I also replaced all the lug nuts
