Hauled the trailer out the other day and the brakes were dragging, so stripped one side down and found things a bit of a mess. The brake equalisers were seized, the adjusters were seized, one of the brake linings was delaminating off the shoe and so on.
Upshot of it all was a trip to get new shoes and springs, bought two new axles while I was there, and decided that a new trailer is on the cards for the autumn.
Got most of one side reassembled today, but despite a forecast for a fine dry day, it is cloudy and spitting with rain...
New trailer will follow closely what we did on the old one, but will make the chassis out of 100 X 50 X 5mm box this time, rather than the 50 X 50 X 5mm box we used on the original, which we subsequently extended and strengthened before out last trip to Spain.
The old one will be sold on ebay later this year.
