Expert Reply:
I have some parts you need for your brakes. Unfortunately, all of our brake flanges fall under the pilot hole diameter of 4 inches. The largest one we have is 3" like the Trailer Brake Mounting Flange for 3-1/2" Axles, 12-1/4" Brake Assemblies # 4-50. This is a 4-bolt square pattern.
As far as the shoes, I recommend using 2 of the Replacement Shoe and Lining Kit for Dexter 12" x 2" Electric Brake Assembly - 7,000-lb # DX28FR.
For the magnets, the parts you need are the Replacement Trailer Brake Magnet for 12" Brake Assemblies # BP01-180.
