Unfortunately, we don't offer any 6 bolt brake assemblies all the brake assemblies we offer for a 10K axle use a 5 or a 7 bolt mounting flange. According to Dexter, they discontinued those brake assemblies about 20 years ago. The good news is that spare parts are still available. To identify the correct parts, we'll need to know if you have the general or heavy duty brake assemblies. Just measure the existing brake shoes, if they're 3-3/8 inches wide they're general duty, if they're 4 inches wide they're heavy duty. If you could reply and let me know exactly which replacement parts you needed and the width of your brake shoes, I'd be happy to help.
