Question:
I currently have a titan model 10 brake actuator for my drum brake set up. Im adding disc brakes. Can I still use my current actuator, and just change out the master cylinder, and add the reverse solenoid, and flat 5 wire harness?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, all you have to do to switch from drum brakes to disc brakes on the actuator is replace the master cylinder.
We have the Disc Brake Master Cylinder for Titan Actuators # T4747100 which is the master cylinder that you will need to complete this task.
For your solenoid replacement I recommend part # T4748800. If your actuator was made before 2010 then you will need to use the Replacement Solenoid Adapter Fitting # T4750200 so that it will fit on your actuator. I also recommend using the Solenoid Shield # T4835800183 to help protect your solenoid.
Draw-Tite makes a 5-Flat Trailer Harness # 20017 that will help you convert your trailer's wiring harness from a 4-flat to a 5-flat. You will also want to use the Deka Butt Connectors # DW05744-5 for proper installation.
