12" x 2" Trailer Brakes Assemblies Rated for 6,000 lbs With 4 Bolt Mounting Flange Pattern

Question:

I am trying to overhaul the brakes on a home made car hauler. I believe it has 5-6000lb axles, based on their leaf springs and 3 inch diameter axle tubes. The brake hubs have some numbers stamped on them... W-2 1228 12-200 H.4.90817 MAX.01A.12.09 The hubs are 12 inch diameter and shoes are 2inch wide. Looking at the complete brake assemblies you carry, they all seem to be a 5 bolt pattern. These axles have a 4 bolt pattern. Do you carry a 12-2 assembly that fits a 6k axle with a 4 bolt pattern?

There are 12" x 2" trailer brakes available that are rated for 6,000 lbs and have a 4-bolt mounting flange pattern. The Dexter Electric Brake Assembly will work with 14-1/2", 15" or 16" wheels; for the left-hand side you need # 23-105-09 while the right-hand side is # 23-106-09. I have added links to video reviews of each brake assembly for you to take a look at.
