USA parts for Komet trailers?
Who is the USA representative for Komet trailers? I want to buy new
outside handles for the front and back and a few other odds and ends. They have an amazing tendency to turn brittle... The Komet mfr. website does not make it easy to find out who to contact in the US. Thanks for the help, Bruno - B4 |

USA parts for Komet trailers?
Hi Bruno,
I don't know if he still does it, but Harold Ennulat used to sell and support Komet trailer parts from his company Entec Technical Services, Inc. However, the web site link I have for them is no longer working (http://entec.soaringweb.net/). The e-mail I have for Harold may or may not be current. It is: The phone numbers I have for him a (412) 983-9839 and (724) 935-5586. Best Regards, Paul Remde "Bruno" wrote in message ... Who is the USA representative for Komet trailers?

outside handles for the front and back and a few other odds and ends.
They have an amazing tendency to turn brittle... Why not replace with nicer/upgrade handles? I have used oval x-section cast aluminum handles on my trailer (and tailwheel dolly. pfft -you guys can keep your cheopo gate/trowel handles and love them. Spendy, but damn they feel nice in the hand, even under high loads and they are not going to get brittle and fall apart -ever... Strangely, the handles I have are powedercoated black but somehow do not get too hot to touch, even in full sun on 100°f days. http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/116/2959/=9sepje I have style 20... but all the handles there are several notches above the lame stock Komet ones. 14, 15 and 16 look like the best candidates since the handle style is similar and there are no through-holes to leak in the future... -Paul |

They weren't exactly the same hole distance but close enough. They seem to hold up much better in the sun. The original ones from Komet became very brittle. After I installed the boat handles I found out I could have used Komet replacements, I then found out I saved a bunch of money. Seven years of use and they still work great. Dan WO |

Thanks everyone for the very useful help. This is a fun new
experience participating in this group where for the first time I am not told I thermal like crap and should be looking over my shoulder more before turning to circle... Sounds like there are some great options outside of the OEM handles. Have a great weekend everyone. By the way - iboats.com is the bomb! Bruno - B4 |

Thanks for the help, Bruno - B4 After being unable to contact Mr. Ennulat, I emailed Anschau directly at and received a nice response from them with an offer to help and a parts diagram for the brakes. Good luck, Steve |
