Hey Justin,
I did some digging on that axle. Dexter said its a fairly older axle so a lot of the information is no longer but I was able to see what size is used on that. For replacement brakes I recommend the etrailer # AKEBRK-7-SA. These are the same 12x2 sized assemblies that came on that axle. Since we do not carry a Dexter set in that one thing I recommend double checking is your brake flange on your axle. If it is a 5 bolt flange this will work great for you.
Let me know if your brake flange is anything different and I will see what we have.
