Thank you for the kind words, Lonner!
The Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator w/ Electric Lockout # DM62VR is designed for disc brakes which require a higher psi rating than drum brakes do so you'll want to use one rated for drum brakes like the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 instead:
- Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX83FR
Please note the slightly different bolt pattern for this coupler, plus it it doesn't come with a lockout so you'll need to add the Solenoid Valve # T4748800 to get that electric lockout feature added to this.
