This guide is for owners of Ifor Williams PO146, tri-axle trailers, and other compatible trailer brands requiring reliable braking systems. The key benefit is the durable, rust-resistant stainless steel construction for extended lifespan, especially in marine environments. A potential caveat is the specific Knott style fitting, requiring verification of compatibility. These are professional-grade, detachable stainless steel brake cables designed for Knott trailer brake systems, supplied pre-lubricated and ready for installation. The pack includes 4 cables, each featuring a protective red sleeve for enhanced durability and a Knott detachable fitting on one end and an M8 thread on the other.

These cables are specifically designed for trailer brake systems using the Knott detachable fitting style. They are ideal for Ifor Williams PO146 and tri-axle trailers, but compatibility with other brands depends on them using a similar Knott system.
The 'detachable' feature refers to the Knott fitting on one end, which allows for quick disconnection from the trailer's coupling mechanism, often used for easier maintenance or storage.
Yes, the stainless steel construction makes these cables highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making them an excellent choice for boat trailers that are frequently exposed to water and salt.
The sheath length (1830mm) is the length of the outer protective sleeve, while the cable length (2040mm) is the total length of the inner cable, including the threaded end.
No, these cables come pre-lubricated and are ready to fit straight out of the pack for optimal performance.
The cable features an M8 thread on one end, and it is supplied with a corresponding M8 domed nut for attachment.
This listing is for a pack of 4 brake cables.
The cable may not be properly lubricated or could be experiencing internal friction. Ensure the Knott fitting is correctly seated and the M8 thread is not overtightened, causing binding. Inspect for any kinks or obstructions along the cable's path.
Check that the M8 threaded end is correctly connected and adjusted to the brake rod. Ensure the Knott fitting is fully engaged in the coupling. Verify that all brake system components, including the brake shoes and drums, are in good working order.
Ensure the coupling mechanism is clean and free of debris. The fitting might require slight lubrication. Check for any damage to the fitting or the coupling slot. Confirm you are using the correct procedure for detaching and attaching the Knott fitting.
Setup:
Compatibility:
These cables are specifically designed for Knott trailer brake systems and are a suitable replacement for Ifor Williams PO146 trailers and many other makes that utilize Knott components, including Bateson, Brian James, and Indespension. Verify that your trailer's braking system uses a Knott detachable fitting and an M8 thread on the brake rod. Measure your existing cable lengths to confirm the 1830mm sheath and 2040mm overall cable length are appropriate.
Care:
While stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, regular inspection is recommended. Clean any road dirt or debris from the cable and sleeve. Ensure the cable moves freely and is not rubbing against any part of the trailer chassis or suspension. Periodically check the M8 thread for tightness.
