Changing a brakeaway cable and attatching a hitching mirror.

[china]

As title. I bought a trailer last week and have bought a new brake away cable for it as the one on it is abit lethal (cut my hand on it) I have also bought a hitching mirror.

1. Can I attach the brakeaway cable myself?
2. How do I attach the hitching mirror? Or do I have to pay someone to do it, it has a bracket that looks like it has to be drilled into the front of the trailer.

Yes you can attach the breakaway cable yourself. Just leave the old one on until new one is fitted, it's literally a two min job but I don't know how turned on you are with a spanner, no offence.

What hitch mirror is it?,make etc?

No idea of mirror make! Box just says mirror convex. I got it off ebay. It looks as though you have to drill a hole throught the front of that trailer and feed the screw through that attatched to the back of the mirror and tighten the bolt on the other side

Without seeing the mirror it's hard to tell. Stupid question, was there instructions regarding fitting?

Annoyingly no! Would have made life so much easier. I will take a picture of the mirror 2moro after work and pop it on here.

give me a pm if I don't reply. Memory like a sieve.

I typed mirror convex into Ebay to no avail unfortunately.
