I have a complete replacement surge brake actuator option for you, but there is not a replacement master cylinder compatible with the Atwood 82541 actuator on your trailer. When Atwood went out of business all of the replacement parts were discontinued, and there are no compatible replacement master cylinders available.

The only option will be replacing the actuator completely. I recommend going with the Titan Brake Actuator with Manual Lockout - Bolt On - Drum - 2" Ball - 7,500 lbs # T63FR as it will be an exact replacement for your actuator, and is still in production with replacement parts available should they be needed in the future.

I included a video of the # T63FR for you to take a look at.
