I can certainly point you in the right direction. First and foremost we would want to verify that your axle does in fact have a brake flange. Some smaller axles do not come with brake flanges, and this will be required in order to install electric brakes. We do carry a brake mounting flange # 4-35 which can be fabricated to fit your axle if needed.

We also need to verify what kind of axle is on your trailer. Specifically we need to know the inner and outer bearing sizes. This will tell us what hubs will fit on your axle. 10 inch wheels are normally reserved for hub and drums with smaller capacities such as the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles # 8-257-5UC3. This is a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and uses the L44649 (1.063" inner diameter) inner and outer bearings. These hubs will go with the Electric brake kit # AKEBRK-2.

You will also need to wire the trailer with a 7 way plug. I recommend using the # H20044 along with a junction box # 38656 and as much 7 wire # DW04914-1 (sold by the foot) as you need. You will also need to equip your tow vehicle with a brake controller if you do not have one already. If you are in need I recommend the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty # RED24FR.
