All of the 8K electric brake kits have a square 4-bolt pattern like the etrailer Electric Trailer Brake Kit w/ Dust Shields # AKEBRK-8 you referenced.

We do have the Kodiak Disc Brakes # KOD64VR you looked at earlier with the correct mounting bolt pattern for your older AL-KO/Quality axle(s) but this is a hydraulic setup so we'll have to get you brake lines and an actuator for your trailer. If you can give me some more insight into your current trailer brake setup and weight rating (GVWR) I'd be more than happy to help make sure you get all of the parts you're needing!

Electric brakes such as Electric Trailer Brake Kit #AKEBRK-8 do not fit specific axles. These are 8,000 lb rated brakes with a 4-bolt mounting flange pattern and are 12-1/4" diameter x 3-3/8" wide, so you would need that mounting bolt…

I looked in several places online and couldn't get a definite axle capacity for your trailer. I'd assume it's a pretty high capacity since it's a tandem axle trailer that weighs 12k and has 3k of capacity. So most likely you have 8k…
