ALKO running gear
Mechanical brakes in USA would be great but I'm pretty sure it's
impossible to buy them here. Seems like an obvious business opportunity for someone. GA |

VERY possible to buy here. UH I just looked on their US website and there is no mention of mechanical brakes. They do have quite a few electric offerings and one Hydraulic option. |

The UK website does include references to the overrun drum brakes used by Cobra and even includes the complete service manual. It does not seem to list any drum brake axles for sale. Does the Indiana plant produce the overun mechanical drum brake axles and only provide them for export? Perhaps one way to find out would be to contact them with the part number of an axle as installed on a current Cobra trailer and ask where one can be purchased. Andy |

Andy From an earlier discussion T8 sent my this link: http://axleinc.com/ They work with ALKO and have a pretty good knowledge of the different types of solutions. |

ALKO running gear
I have purchased several 2" AL-KO couplers and a hydraulic brake AL-
KO axle from Axle, Inc. The company is easy to deal with. However, they do not have a mechanical brake option available. Rex and Noelle always seem to have several AL-KO mechanical brake axles in stock at Williams. Also just the brakes themselves, which may be compatible with AL-KO USA axles. Jim |
