Expert Reply:
The wheel size won't matter in regards to the electric brakes actually fitting your hub and drum. Since you have a 10 x 2-1/4 drum you can use the 3,500 lb Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting # AKEBRK-35-SA.
These don't come with the mounting hardware though so you'll need that as well, the Mounting Hardware for 10" Brake Assemblies # BRKH10B.
