To find out if the Redline Brake Mounting Flange # 4-35 that you referenced will work for your application you will just need to take a few simple measurements.

This mounting flange fits 2-3/8 inch round axles and will be welded to the axle. The bolt hole pattern that you will need to match to your brakes is 2-7/8 inches center-on-center as is demonstrated in the attached video and picture.

If your axle is a different diameter just let me know what it is and what your brake/rotor bolt hole measurement is and I can make a recommendation.
