Hey Brad, thanks for reaching out. What parts are you looking for specifically? We may have the parts you need like brake shoes for example. Let me know what you are looking for and I can see if we have it. Honestly though, there are not a lot of parts available for these older AL-KO brakes, but it never hurts to check.
If the parts you need are not available, we would next look at replacing the brake assemblies entirely. What we carry are the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brakes # 23-438-439. These are the same 12-1/4" diameter x 4" wide brakes you have now. The Dexter assemblies use a 7-bolt pattern for the brake flange, so please make sure your axle will accommodate this.
What kind of trailer is this for? Any idea what year it was made? Reply below and let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
