To determine the brake assemblies that will fit your trailer, you need to know your axle's weight capacity, your brake's mounting flange bolt pattern and the inside diameter and depth of your hub, which you mentioned was 12" x 2" drum.

If your axle was rated for 7,000 lbs and you had a 5-bolt mounting flange you could use the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 12" # 23-464-465.

For a 6,000 lb axle and 5-bolt mounting flange you can use the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 12" # 23-458-459.

If instead you had an AL-KO/Hayes 4-bolt mounting flange and 6,000 lb axle you would need the Dexter Electric Brake Kit for 4 Bolt or 5 Bolt Flange - 12" # 23-105-106-09. If you take a look at the accompanying photo you can see the mounting flange that these fit and if yours matches this is what you would need.
