Trailer master cylinder needed
 
I have a z215 96 Talari trailer and my master cylinder is shot. Where would I get one?
Thanks in advance

Just about any trailer parts store. :)

Here is one place

Hydraulic Surge Trailer Brake Actuators at Trailer Parts Superstore

That's the easiest and safest way to get it back to working condition Al. :)
Just measure the size of the tongue main beam on your trailer , and order or pickup the size coupler that fits.

Can you give us a pic of your existing mount?

Do you have drum or disc brakes Al?

Drum....those pins are a biatch to get out...especially the front one

Did you get it off?
Use a die grinder , or maybe a dremel if you have too.
Then you can get one like the #70463 in link I gave you , or similar style.

Yeah ...got it off. So now I have basically 2 parts...the hitch and master cylinder..

I wonder if I should convert it to electric brakes? If it can be done then I would have to worry about leaks again...

Electric brakes and water don't get along real well Al , but if your in a freshwater area all the time , I would think they would be fine.
Some of the other members with trailer brakes can give you a better opinion on them. My little Diablo trailer has none.:yes_grin:

I just did the conversion myself. I don't see another trailer with surge brakes in my future! I am aware the electronic brake on a boat trailer is a controversial topic but I've talked to a few other boaters with them- zero issues. We don't boat in salt water which is something to consider.
I will post a link when I get on my computer to a trailer manufacturer that puts them on their boat trailers from the factory. They seem very confident in the electric brakes.
