Since I started this string I have put thousands of miles on the trailer with no more problems. My calipers are Tiedown 46304A.They seem to have brass bushings….no plastic. Blue lock tight seems to work so far but I check the pins often anyway.


Tom, I think having brass bushings in there instead of the rubber bushings, would hold up much better. I'll have to look into that brand and model next time I need to replace the calipers. (Although right now, I have three spares!)

Yes Colby….trailer’s can be a frustrating pain but there’s no other option for what we do. I trust that your issues will be soon resolved. See you on the Cumberland.


I definitely put the miles on my trailer! Smile And for the most part, pretty much trouble free. But the caliper issue has been a PITA! Enjoy your early cruising on the Cumberland. I'll see you at Prizer Point. Note any irregularities on the Cumberland, as I'll be cruising it after the gathering. Smile Colby
