Guys... I have an M101a2 and want to take off the surge brake actuator/lunette assm. and replace it with a M101a1 Lunette assembly. First off, is this possible? Are the two assemblies interchangeable without modification? I am thinking of swapping the axle for a lighter civy axle with electric brakes and obviously, will not be using the surge brake assembly.
I know you are probably asking "Why in the heck does he want to do that?".... The answer...because I am trying to shed some weight off the A2 Trailer for the sake of my tow vehicle, its incapable 5cyl engine, and transmission. Why didnt I buy an A1 to start with? There were many more A2 available and the trailer I have (a2) is pretty mint.
For the record...I am not interested in cutting and welding anything. I want the trailer to remain as it should if I ever decide to put it back to factory specs...I am keeping all my A2 parts (Axle, Hubs, Brakes, Surge Brake) for this reason. So.. I will not be selling anything.
Last... If I the assemblies are interchangeable, where could one find an A1 assembly?
Thanks
Jeff
