Jim,
Thanks!! $12.00 I can handle. I think there is a True Value store on the
other side of town. I didn't realize you could replace the wire to the
electrode. As to the brakes, I have replaced older rear drum brakes but it
seemed the trailers(electric brakes) I had in the past never needed new
brakes or my Dad took care of it. Thanks for the link. I will check it out.
Didn't get my tires and wheels.....tires were not in....bummer.
........Brian........
