Hi Joe,
Memphis Equipment should have them in stock, they are about $135.00/each.
You will also need a pushbutton switch with wiring to energize the solenoid
when the brakes are applied. All 28VDC.
I believe they are plumbed in the brake lines following the air-pac to lock
the rear wheels only on the wreckers, at least that where mine came from.
Cheers,
Bjorn
