The size brake assembly you mentioned of 12-1/4 inch by 3-1/8 inch is not a standard size for a 10k Lippert axle but it's pretty close to standard sizes in width. The diameter of 12-1/4 inch is fine but the widths typically are 3-1/2 inch or 3-3/8 inch.

What it looks like you have is the AxleTek or etrailer.com assemblies part # AKEBRK-10 based on the picture you submitted. Which for that you could use the magnet part # BP01-301 for.

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
