https://www.easternmarine.com/trailer-disc-brakes/... I've bought a lot of stuff from these guy's and have never been disappointed.. browse the different models.. or give them a call .. they have pretty good tech support...the disc brakes can be bought with the hubs integrated or solo ..

I've only needed brakes once in 40 years of trailering... that includes trips to the mountain lakes each spring and an occasional trip to lake Ontario... last fall bringing the boat home for the season a car drifted into my lane forcing me into the adjacent lane ...only to realize the entire lane I just entered was not moving and 3 cars had run into each other...I'm convinced that had I not had working trailer brakes my boat and trailer would have ended up along side me in a twisted pile of rubbish... instead the trailer and my 3/4 ton pick up all stayed aligned and I missed colliding with the cars by about 3'.. I'm now a big believer in trailer brakes.

A good run is better than a bad stand!
