While we don't have any way of knowing what brakes you need on a 1970 Airstream International Land Yacht Trailer, I can tell you how to determine the correct ones. You need to know the size of your drum, which will point you to the correct capacity.
- 7" diameter x 1-1/4" wide: Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 7" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 2,000 lbs # 23-47-48
- 10" diameter x 1-1/2" wide: Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,000 lbs # K23-472-473-00
- 10" diameter x 2-1/4" wide: Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,500 lbs # 23-468-469
These brakes each fit a 4-bolt mounting flange and come with the needed mounting hardware, you'd only need Adjustment Spoon # W80630 for the 2,000 lb and 3,000 lb options that are not self-adjusting. I have added links to video reviews and an install for you to check out as well.
