I can help you determine exactly what electric brake assemblies you need to safely tow your trailer, and though I am not 100 percent certain what you were referring to by 12-gg brakes, I think you were referring to their diameter.

So in order to determine exactly what brake assemblies are right for your trailer you need to know three things: your axle's weight capacity, your mounting flange bolt pattern and the inside diameter and depth of your drum, which in your case looks to be 12" diameter.

For example, if your axle was rated for 5,200 lbs, 6,000 lbs, or 7,000 lbs, your drum was 12" diameter x 2" wide and you had a 5-bolt brake mounting flange such as # 4-44-1 you can use the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-7-SA for which you'd need Mounting Hardware # BRKH12.

If you have a different dimension drum, axle capacity, or brake mounting flange you can let me know and I'll be happy to find the right brakes for you. I have also added a link to our entire selection of electric brakes as well as a link to an install video for you to take a look at.
