Brake Conversion Electric To Hydraulic Disc
Has anyone had experience or heard of anyone converting their all electric trailer brakes to Electric over Hydraulic Disc Brakes? Is there a Kit on the market? I am capable of doing the conversi...

4x, the hydraulic component is the Dexter electric over hydraulic brake actuator. It take the brake signal from your electric brake controller (the blue wire). the actuator is a variable pressure hydraulic pump. It contains a fluid reservoir just like a brake master cylinder. As for the 'kit', you have to make it up yourself, but its easy to do. First, you need the Kodiak (or Dexter) disc brakes, then a Dexter (or other) elec over hyd brake actuator. The actuator must develop 1600 psi in order to actuate the discs. Next is the pre-flared tubing from your local auto supply. I'll correct my previous post again here; the actuator needs its own 30A supply (10 ga wire) and ground directly from the battery (+ and -) to the actuator, along with the blue wire from the controller. The blue wire is not 10ga like I said.
Don't be put off that there is not a complete kit, its easy to make your own. There are lots of install videos out there on youtube, its not that hard. You will need a brake contoller that works with electric over hydraulic, I use a Prodigy P2 controller.
Good luck!
