I wish we had what you are looking for but we only have a few actuating arms at this time and we don't have any for 7 inch assemblies. The fits for these are pretty specific though so you'll also need to match the brand of the assemblies too. Normally its just easiest to replace the entire assemblies. So for a set of replacement assemblies you could use the part # AKEBRK-2.

Easier? Maybe. BUT a complete assembly costs more than $100.00 more than an arm and a magnet. The Dexter brand actuator arms are readily available elsewhere for $9.00 but I didn't realize that until I'd already bought a new assembly from Etrailer. I should finally have it Monday and the new drum whenever you get your shipment and get them processed. I still haven't figured out why my magnet spun, pulling the wiring loose, wearing the actuator arm round, and eating up the drum.
