Can the Dexter EOH Actuator # K71-650 Be Converted to be Used on a Disc Brake System

Question

Question:

Do you happen to know if this is one of the actuators that can be converted to higher PSI for disc brakes by removing the restriction from the master cylinder? I have drum brakes now but may want to upgrade in the future and would rather not buy another actuator. Thanks

We do carry a Dexter EOH Brake Actuator that will work with disc brakes, but the Dexter Actuator, # K71-650, is designed to be used with hydraulic drum brakes only.

The Dexter # K71-651, has a 1600 psi rating that is suitable for a disc brake system on a trailer.
