Trailer brake flushing kit

Post by PhilEOD »

Has anyone have any information or better still pictures of the "brake flushing kit" that is available in the US? I have the new double axled aluminium trailer for the :macm: and really want some way of internally flushing out the brakes with fresh water.
Failing to be able to get hold of something I'm going to try and make a kit up of my own using garden hose and connections drilled and fixed (epoxied into the rear of the brake) with hoses clips along the trailer chassis to a forward point on the trailer to attached a fresh water hose.
Any advice always welcome.

They're pretty cheap to buy off the shelf here in the US. Here's one example:
