Expert Reply:

We do not have a master cylinder repair kit for your older Atwood surge coupler but we can help you select a new coupler to match your trailer gross weight. The linked page displays both disc and drum brake surge couplers; just click on the type you need for your trailer, the ball size and then click on the gross trailer weight rating (GTW) that is appropriate.

A popular option for a 7K GTW with a straight tongue and drum brakes is Demco drum actuator coupler # DM72VR which is a bolt-on install. We also have A-frame couplers like 7.5K # T4067600 which takes a 2-5/16-inch ball.
