Genuine rubber gaiter (bellows) for the Bradley HU12 overrun coupling fitted with the AL-KO A351 locking head. This accordion-style rubber sleeve protects the sliding drawtube from dust, grit, and moisture — keeping your coupling operating smoothly and your brakes responding correctly.
Key Specifications:
- Part Number: S-COGA-2100-P-N
- Designed for: Bradley HU12 overrun coupling with AL-KO A351 locking head
- Fits: 50mm tow ball / draw tube overrun devices
- Material: Durable rubber (bellows/accordion construction)
- Type: Protective drawtube gaiter
About the Bradley HU12 Coupling:
The Bradley HU12 is a heavy-duty overrun coupling rated for up to 3,500kg. It features a hydraulic over-run damper that manages braking force relative to the towing vehicle, providing smooth and progressive trailer braking. Known for its delta or straight drawbar compatibility, it is typically finished in a heavy-duty galvanised or cast iron housing — built for durability in demanding towing conditions.
About the AL-KO A351 Locking Head:
The AL-KO A351 (AK351) is a cast steel hitch head designed for high-weight capacities, gripping the 50mm tow ball securely. It features:
- Integrated lock hole — accepts a barrel lock to secure the trailer to the vehicle or lock it while uncoupled, preventing theft
- Wear indicator — a visual gauge on the side shows if the tow ball or internal hitch jaws are worn and need attention
About the Gaiter (Bellows):
The rubber accordion sleeve sits behind the locking head and protects the sliding drawtube from dust, grit, and moisture. If this rubber splits:
- Grease can escape from the drawtube
- Dirt and moisture can enter the coupling mechanism
- The coupling can begin “sticking” or “snatching” when braking
Replacing a split gaiter promptly is a small investment that protects the much more expensive coupling assembly.
Benefits:
- Protects the drawtube and internal coupling mechanisms from dirt and water
- Prevents corrosion of critical brake linkages
- Extends coupling service life significantly
- Maintains smooth, progressive overrun brake operation
- Essential for Australian conditions (dust, mud, coastal salt)
- Prevents costly coupling repairs and replacements

Always verify your trailer's chassis plate before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
When to Replace:
Inspect your coupling gaiter regularly and replace if you notice:
- Cracks, splits, or tears in the rubber
- Perishing or hardening of the material
- Loose or detached mounting
- Visible dirt or water inside the coupling
- Coupling sticking or snatching during braking
- As part of annual coupling maintenance
Installation Note: Ensure the gaiter is properly seated at both ends. Clean the coupling mechanism before installing the new gaiter. Check for proper fit and secure mounting before towing.
