Expert Reply:
If the axle uses a standard brake mounting flange such as the one in the photo below then you can switch to modern braking assemblies like the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-105-106 which matches up with the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 8-201-5UC3 (2.125" I.D. Grease Seal) or part # K08-201-97 (2.25" I.D. Grease Seal).
