Fugazi Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 (edited) I was talking to Terry (Plaicemat) after last nights meeting about the best position to fit hub flush spray nozzles on my trailer brake backplates. He wasn't sure if his was a Knott brake system like mine, so if anyone has experience of fitting these I would appreciate it if you could X mark the spot on the attached photo.

Coddy Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hi Gordon Have you seen this http://www.hotribs.com/03press/233-hubflush/hubflush.asp ? or this http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/view/IND010 Coddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Cheers Coddy, The picture of the nozzle spraying suggests I will have to locate it just behind the trailing brake shoe. Of course this is not the recommended position shown in the instructions, but they depict an installation on a different manufacturers brake system. All I can do is try it and monitor how effective it is and possibly do a write up on how things progress. Regards, Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Gordon When you do your write up, and pictures I hope, can I be cheeky and ask if I can and it to my web site please? Coddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) Gordon Not sure if this helps, it's a Bramber Trailer, not sure what the brake system is. Edited April 5, 2008 by Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaicemat Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Gordon, I'm pretty sure your braking system is the same as mine. To save me having to dismantle, let me have a shot of the back of your brake plate and I will put on the position of mine. Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi Terry, Thanks for the offer Terry but the good news is that Iv'e managed to work it out and fit the spray nozzles behind the trailing shoes. At first I thought that this would prevent a good circulation of water but hopefully as you can see in the attached photo it seems to soak most of the brake system quite well.

plaicemat Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Looks pretty effective to me, Gordon, and it should improve with the 'lid' on. Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
