Trailer brakes assemblies are fairly easy to find replacements for. There are electric and hydraulic options. Most trailers use electric brakes that are either 10 inch or 12 inch. With only a few exceptions there is a mounting pattern that most follow.
You can look at the back of your brake assembly to see bolt mounting pattern and then can measure the back for the correct size.
If you need 10 inch electric brakes, I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting # AKEBRK-35-SA (with 4 bolt mounting pattern) and for 12 inch # AKEBRK-7-SA (which have the 5 bolt mounting pattern). These are by far the most common electric options due to sizes and the self-maintaining function.
If you have hydraulic brakes or need more info, send me a photo of your brake assembly and dimensions and I'd be happy to assist.
