I need to replace the surge brake damper on my 1986 Komet III trailer.

I'm wondering if someone out in ras land has a part number (or

equivalent) and replacement instructions. It appears that Entec, the

former Komet US representative, is no longer active.



I've seen Bruce Greeff's write up for Eberle trailers -

If the dampner is shot, the trailer brakes will slam on and then release about twice per second when the tow vehicle is braking, making a chirping sound as your tires are eaten up..................ask me how I know
