Replacement Inner Member for Tie Down 75LP Brake Actuator

Question:

I want to replace my inner slide on my Tie Down 75LP. However, from what I can tell from the image of the DX39 FR, the rear pin is in a much different location as compared to my Tie Down 75LP. Is the DC39FR a direct replacement without any field modification? It also looks like the solenoid on the DC39FR is a two wire versus a single wire on my Tie Down unit. Thank you for your help.

The Replacement Inner Member for Dexter DX7.5L Actuator # DX39FR is the correct replacement for Dexter DX7.5L and Legacy UFP Brake Actuators which includes your Tie Down 75LP.

The two wires are connected to the reverse lock-out solenoid, one of the wires would be grounded to trailer frame and the other connects to your reverse light so when you reverse the solenoid locks out the coupler allowing you to back up the trailer.
