I do have a recommendation as Titan no longer makes their brake actuator with the fold away tongue hinge you are looking for. You will be able to use either a 3"x4" Hinge # FHDPB340301 with the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX29FR. Or we have the 3"x5" Hinge # FHDPB350101 with the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX56FR. You will need to acquire a short leg of either the 3"x4" or 3"x5" tubing for connecting the hinge kit to the actuator.
