Looking For New Master Cylinder Or Brake Actuator For 1997 Triple Axle Trailer
Updated 12/01/2025 | Published 11/08/2025
Question:
I have a 1997 triple axle trailer built by heritage. The master cylinder is out on it. Doesn’t even look like it’s removable without cutting the tongue apart on the trailer. I can send pics. Not sure the easiest way to fix this whether it be electric over hydraulic or you have another actuator I can wel in its place.

Hello Chris, thanks for reaching out. We may have a master cylinder replacement for you, but those are going to be brand and model specific to your actuator. So I would need to know exactly what you have to recommend a new one. If you are wanting to replace the entire actuator, we do have options for that as well.
If you want to email those pictures to me, it should help narrow down what you need. My email is [email protected]. Also let me know if your trailer has disc or drum brakes, what coupler ball size you need, and what the GVWR of the trailer is. Let me know and I am happy to look into it.

Hey Chris, were you able to find a master cylinder or actuator that worked for your Heritage trailer? Knowing what ended up fitting could really help others with older triple axle setups. Your update could make it easier for the next person facing the same issue.
