Hello Mike,
For your A-60 surge brake actuator like the # DX56FR, you’ll want the Emergency Breakaway Cable Repair Kit for Dexter A-60 Brake Actuators # DX64XR to replace the cable. For the cover, the correct part is the Replacement Black Plastic Filler Cap for Dexter 7,500 lb Brake Actuators # T097-022-00.
Did the cable break in an emergency situation? And what kind of boat do you have riding on that trailer?

Hey Mike, how did things go with the breakaway cable repair kit and the replacement filler cap for your A-60 actuator? Did both parts fit and get your trailer brakes working again? Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same setup.
