I think you're talking about a brake flange Harold. A brake flange like item # 4-35 goes around your axle and provides an attachment point for brakes. In order to determine which one you need you'll need to take a measurement and figure out the diameter of your axle. Once you get this information feel free to email me directly or comment below and I'll make sure you get the right one.
Additionally, if I am completely off on what you're needing. Go ahead and send me a picture or a better description of what it is you are needing.

Hey Harold, did you get a chance to measure your axle to see if that brake flange would fit your trailer? Once you have that size, it’ll be easier to confirm the right match. Your update could make it easier for others working on similar brake setups.
