Need trailer roller arm mount thing

[chrisgt]

I need a trailer roller arm mount thing, i clearly have no idea what this part is called and thus I'm having no luck finding one. Maybe the picture helps someone point me in the right direction!




If it matters, this is the trailer. I paid $600 for it, so I'm ok with replacing bearings, rollers, and tires.

what is the trailer manufacturer?
have you contacted them? nearly all trailer manufacturers have a parts manual and sell parts

I don't know the manufacture of the trailer, it just says REGAL on it; clearly OEM supplied for that manufacture. I don't know the model or actual manufacture since the data plate is gone.
It seems to me like this should be a fairly generic part

looks like a 1/2 inch steel rod cut to length and clamped under a couple of u bolts. don't know what else to call it.

It's actually aluminum and, due to the fact that I took the picture straight down and you can't see it, they have a slight upward curve.
I certainly could go buy some 3/4" x 1/2" (or whatever) aluminum bar and make one, but it's one of those things where I can probably buy the arm with a roller for $30 and it would be cheaper than reinventing the wheel.

They are support arms for rollers, they are normally galvanized as aluminum would not be strong enough. There are a number of trailer supply stores that should carry some version of these. One is called E Trailer and there are numerous others. I don't know how to add links, but if you do a search for roller type boat trailer parts, something will show up. The rollers are called " wobble" rollers...
