Penman Trailer Brakes
Hi. im new to the forum but have been around landrovers for too many decades. Im looking for help with a penman trailer, specifically the brakes. A recent purchase is missing a caliper and i really want to go through the brakes and ensure its all good. The only issue i have is where to get parts? ive done a search and there is reference to the parts being citroen Xantia but which model and what are the brake discs? Citroen or Defender? its got wolf wheels so im guessing its a land rover hub and brake disc? any help would be appreciated as the trailer project had come to a stop as im now without brakes Sad

I can’t answer your question on the caliper sorry however here is the parts list which should help with the disc information, the calipers are shown however other than a basic description it doesn’t appear to help;

Calipers and brake pads (EBC DP1077) are Citroen but sadly the discs are not direct fit from any other vehicle from what I found when I had one. I think you could get away with the Citroen discs but would have to re-drill them to suit the PCD of the bolts which hold them to the Penman hub (same way Defender discs are mounted). From what I recall the O/D of the disc and thickness matched the Citroen ones but I never checked the offset or mounting PCD.

Unless your discs are really badly worn or pitted I would just clean them up or get them resurfaced.

In that case, for reference: the hub seals are freely available from seal manufacturers (i used SKF) and are 60x90x10 HMS5 RG.

I think the originals are double lip and the above part number is single lip but it wont make any difference whatsoever for normal use of the trailer.

The side reflectors are Rubbolite M78: https://www.dun-bri.com/Brands/Rubbolite/R...-Reflector

Rear reflectors are Rubbolite M171: https://www.dun-bri.com/Brands/Rubbolite/R...w-In-152mm

If you need new tailgate buffers I found a source and bought some myself but cant recall off the top of my head what they were but can look back through my invoices if you need?

Same with the front marker lights. They are no longer available but there is an look/fit LED version you can get now (but quite pricey).
