Having just run over some fairly rough roads - Dalhousie to Mt Dare etc the camper trailer brake wiring (which was cable tied to the axle) was knocked off by the constant battering of rocks etc. So were a number of other things including the water tank connection, some lights and reflectors.

With some help from John at the William Creek Hotel (great bloke) I re connected the wires and re cable tied them inside some rubber tube for more protection. My question is:

Can anyone suggest a way to protect those two single insulated wires as they go into the brake drums etc, as I can see they will cop a bit more of a pasting next rocky road we travel on?

Is there any polarity on the two wires going into the brake drum? They were both the same colour so I took a punt and they seemed to work OK, but I would like to know for sure.

Any advice much appreciated.
