    How to "Lock" a YFP A-60 Actuator in Place

    I no longer have breaks on my trailer and need help in locking the actuator while in position while trailering to minimize the jerking of going back and forth that is no longer necessary.

    Any ideas are appreciated.

    You can put a c-clamp in the brake lockout. It may not be aesthetic, but it will get the job done...

    Some one said Nickles will fit in the slots. If they do, duck tape some nickles on each side of the slots.

    No need for duct tape - you'll need to tap the nickels in with a small hammer!

    Duck Tape works for everything even when small hammers don't.

    That's a tough one to fix.
