Correct Replacement for Atwood 159-80770 Braking Assemblies

Question

Question:

Thank you for all of the help with my questions - Regarding the Demco DM72VR, Im also buying the Titan reverse lockout T4748800 to make it an electric reverse lock out system and switching to a 5 way wiring instead of 4. Are the Demco 18787 and 18788 the appropriate drum brake assemblies? My current drum brakes are 10inch x 2 1/4inch wide Atwood Uni-Servo brakes, Atwood P/N MPD 159-80770 and MPD 159-80780. My current Atwoods are standard, meaning the original Atwood surge actuater had a mechanical lockout.

Yes, the Demco Hydraulic Drum Brake Assembly part # 18788 for left and part # 18787 for right will work well to replace the Atwood 159-80770 Braking Assemblies. They are both 10" x 2-1/4" with a 5 bolt flange so there will be no compatibility issues.
