I have an older aluminum Cobra trailer (1983) and need a new (another)
axel.
Spindleberger says the company ESPE that built the original axel and
brakes
is no longer in business and not sure a custom one from his current
supplier
will be worth it ($$$$$). Does anyone have a wrecked old Cobra that
might
have a good axel and brakes for sale, OR, do you know of a good
replacement
axel? I am, of course, hoping to find a replacement axel with brakes
that
will marry to the current hand brake system on the trailer, but will
certainly consider other approaches.

Any advice or help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Carter

I feel, there is some misunderstanding.
Please know, that axle and tow bar have to be seen as a unit on
trailers with overrunning brakes. It is not possible to make a
combination from parts from different supplyers.
The manufacturer of your axle( Peitz) is not on the market any more.
A little factory manufactures the spare parts for all this axles of
the former Peitz company.
And they are able to make a axle for your trailer. Because it is
handcrafted from spare parts,it willbe relatively expensive and need
some time. The better way would be to use a axle and a tongue from our
current supplyer,the ALKO company. So,axle and tongue will cost less
as the Peitz axle allone ,both are from more modern design and can be
delivered next day.
