When it comes to replacing your electric brakes on your 1981 Flying L Stock Trailer The Dexter Electric Brake Kit for 4 Bolt or 5 Bolt Flange - 12 inch - Left/Right Hand Assemblies - 6K # 23-105-106-09 will work for you.

This brake set has a 12 inch by 2 inch drum and it will fit a AL-KO/Hayes 4 bolt flange or a 5 bolt flange. These brakes will fit 14-1/2 inch, 15 inch, or 16 inch wheels.

I do not recommend drilling another hole on the back plate to make a 5-bolt flange out of your 4-bolt flange. This would not be safe and will weaken the overall integrity of the plate and axle. Also, the 4 holes of a 5 hole flange do not line up with…
