M 101 brake handles

[Nick]

First of all, I was wondering what is considered an early M101 and a late 101. I have a 1952, so that would be....???

Second, I have a lead on brake handles for the trailer, but I've seen so many different kind. The lead I have is for the round style, kinda like in old micro lock truck brakes. Are these the right style? The guy told me that they mounted on the frame rails?? The hardware I have on mine mounts to the cross piece at the center of the trailer. I have all the other prts, just need pics of the other styles and mounting positions.

Thanks
Nick

This a 69 model with the round handles.I am in need of one myself.The early ones had a flat sculpted handle . I will try to find a pic.

Here is the early style

So then my 52 would be considered early style. And in order to be correct I should have the flat style.. Right??

I would say yes. But I am not an expert on anything.Anybody know for sure?

I just found a bunch of 101's today. Ill go back and look to see if any had the early handles. I know a bunch had the later style. Most of the trailers were 1968.

I need the 1- later model round handle if you are selling parts. Thanks Scott

What are they worth? I dont know what the prices will be yet, but if he is way over priced I dont want to go to the work of pulling it.

I have seen used for 7 bucks up to 15 -20 bucks new. I was thinking these were your parts. Probably not worth your time.I can find one at a show. Thanks Scott

Would any of those trailers happen to have brake cables? I've searched high and low for cables and can't find any anywhere.
