We do have 12-1/4 x 5 inch electric drum brake assemblies available, however we have found that with higher-rated assemblies like these the AL-KO units aren't able to be easily swapped with other brands.
The etrailer.com Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-12 might work well but it features a 7 bolt pattern, which likely doesn't match up to the mounting flanges on your AL-KO axles. If this is the case you will need to try and weld the brake backing plate directly to the flange for them to work as replacements.
Unfortunately AL-KO is no longer in business so doing this or replacing the entire axles are your only options.
