Fastload Trailer parts
Anyone know where to get a fitting that goes between the master cyl and the back up solonoid? Fastload can't seem to help me on this. It's a 2005.
Thanks in advance

I owned 5 Fastload trailers.......10 years ago they were great to deal with but not so much around 2007 (I haven't been back since then).
I replaced several "blocking solenoids" on those trailers with "bleeding solenoids". I went to Home Depot and bought short pipe fittings that fit perfect.

. SO a 2005 is still a good trailer then right? It looks to me like it is a metering jet. ( real small hole) . I can find the fittings but not one w this small of a hole.

All that hole doese is pass fluid back to the brakes.....the interior size of the fitting is irrelevant as long as it threads/seals tight into each end.
Since you apparently have the Solenoid off I'd recommend replacing it as I did. Occasionally you need to back up and the solenoid locks the brakes "on" keeping you from backing up. A bleeding solenoid literally bleeds off the excess pressure allowing you to back up everytime. The downside is you have to drill/tap a return line back to the top of the master cylinder.
