Default How to select the correct master cylinder

I have a 1990 25’ continental trailer, the identifying plates are worn and I can’t get any information off of it. My master cylinder needs to be replaced but I need help selecting the right master cylinder. The surge brakes don’t work anyways, should I just pull out the master cylinder and get it that way?

I have a 6 wheel Target trailer and was told it had Hydraulic brakes , when if arrived in the UK to my disappoint it didn't have any brakes and the damping system was removed along with all the brakes , The hitch move back and fourth about two inches and was dangerous but we were at the docks with the truck so took a chance and towed it home , boat and trailer got home unscathed . My Q is how do the EOH work what atevate s them , my rig is about 4600kg according to the dock ticket who shipped it . This trailer looks originally to the boat which is 1976 35ft cigarette narrow body race boat

You need to have an Electric Brake Controller in the tow vehicle.
This is a popular manufacturer: https://www.tekonsha.com/

This may also be an option: https://www.curtmfg.com/part/51180

If in the UK, better get UK brakes and axles and get it registered.

Buying new US parts does not make sense.

Don't need axles , and you can't buy trailer hitched and brake related parts above 3500 kg so it does make sense to buy heavey duty parts from the USA . And we don't need to register a trailer in uk . Plus I have USA made trailer so they have the parts that fit . Makes perfect sense.
