Thank you for all of the info you gave. Based on that you'd want the trailer hub and drum part # AKHD-545-35-K that you referenced and then for brake assemblies to match you'd want the # AKEBRK-35-SA which is a self adjusting set for both sides of the axle. For wire for the assemblies I would recommend 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 which we sell by the foot.
