Question:
Hi, Ive got a boat trailer that has UFP A-160 coupler. Unfortunately, the brake line was disconnected for some reason and no fluid was left in the master cylinder. Ideally I would just get a new master cylinder and shock absorber, but I cant figure the right replacement part. if it does not available, is there other actuator that would work with double axle brake system? Thank you,

Hello Peter,
We have the parts that you are looking for for your UFP A-160 coupler.
For a new shock absorber you will want the Replacement Shock Absorber Spring Kit for Dexter Brake Actuators # TK71-758-00.
For a new master cylinder it will depend on whether or not you have disc brakes, or drum brakes. You will want one of the following:
- Drum Brakes: Replacement Master Cylinder Assembly for Dexter Brake Actuators - Drum Brakes # TK71-756-00
- Disc Brakes: Replacement Master Cylinder Assembly for Dexter Brake Actuators - Disc Brakes # DX44FR
What kind of boat trailer are you working on?
