Surge Brake replacement parts

[bjlakatos]

2010 Tahoe Q7i, trailer with swing-away hitch. The integrated surge brake is Tie Down engineering model 70LP.

The plastic slider plate(inside the surge brake) is breaking up and needs to be replaced. it is what separates the actuator housing (Tongue) from the coupler (hitch).

Tie Down engineering does not make parts for this model and neither does any third party that I can find.

Have any of you run into this situation? Wondering what my options are...seems with the custom trailer, the housing is essentially the swing-away tongue. See pic

are you talking the bit of plastic with the 2 slots? if so, make your own. I believe that is 0.060" thick (1.5mm) I would cut it out of garolite sheet available from McMaster Carr.
