on the frame with homemade brackets. Didn't look like anything I would wa=

anymore or want to use. Do all the new trailers have something like this =

them now? Mine was not hooked to regular brakes in truck at all, I don't
think, you needed to use the lever alone for trailer? Not sure. Seems lik=

there's some diagrams in my 470 book on them. I'ld have to look.=0D
