[SEL] Trailer brakes - question

[rfinksr]

Ron i will chime in on that one. I have a home built trailer total gross 
weight 5 tons.It has disk brakes on all four wheeles from a 1 ton chevy 
truck. surge system.it works good i think. just a pain to put in the lock 
out pin when backing up. Don't know if it is any thing like what Peter is 
explaining.

"Electric brakes are not approved in the EC, we have already looked
into that one."

Those mechanical brakes, outlawed for years in the Colonies, should be ok.
I mean, the earth is flat... The Oz electric discs would be da bomb, but 
they are out, too.
We haven't seen mechanically-linked brakes since the Ford Model A. 
Seriously, I cannot
conceive of a system more likely to NOT work than what you must contrive. 
This is a long
way of saying "dunno how much help we on the other side of pond can be, 
given we have no
experience with such kit".

What would be on a new, factory built trailer of similar specification? Can 
that system
be purchased as a kit?
