Does The Dexter # 099-175-00 and # T43397007K Have the Same 3" Mounting Pattern?

Question

Question:

Im looking at this recommended via prior chat product Item # T43397007K My current coupler is a Titan Model 60 and a direct replacement would be nice use same bolt holes. but I dont like the adjustable ball size turn knob... wondering if this product has the same bolt hole mounting so that I do not have to drill new holes in my trailer? Item # 099-175-00 and if so would it be sufficient for a tandem trailer with 4 drum brakes?

The Dexter DX7.5 Drop-N-Go Brake Actuator # 099-175-00 does have the same mounting holes as the Dexter Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator # T43397007K. The holes are 3" on center. Yes, this actuator will be sufficient for the tandem trailer with 4 brake drums.

@Frank If you have drum brakes with your current Titan Model 60, then you can use the Dexter DX7.5 Drop-N-Go Brake Actuator for Drum brakes part # 099-175-00 rated for 7,500lbs and works with a 2" ball. It doesn't come with an electric lockout, but you can add one to the actuator by installing the replacement Solenoid Valve for Dexter Brake actuators part # T4748800.
