Im looking for a drum brake actuator, 7000, unknown tongue weight with a reverse lockout. Seems that a reverse l/o is hard to find these days. Thnx

Hey Rick, you could use the Dexter Drum Actuator part # T63FR and then add an electric lockout like the part # DX46UR and you'd be set.
It is odd that you don't see drum surge actuators more often with electric lockouts but the logic is that free backing plates are used a lot now so that solenoid isn't as in demand.
