Coleman Brandywine 1974 electric brake replacement

[Bluedog225]

I have searched the archive and net but don't see what I need to I wanted to check with you guys.

I just bought the pop up listed above.  I just removed a hub and the electric brake (all original).  The spindle is in good shape, as is the hub.  The brake is shot (rusty, wires cut, frozen).

I'd like to buy a new electric brake to replace and put into the same hub along with new bearings (just to be safe).  However, I can't find any info on the hub on the net.  It's a "drum" type hub.

The hub says "Dayton"; "Fayette"; "9219"; "max dia. 7.20 in."

A couple of questions:

1-is there a way to find a replacement for the brake only?
2-if not, is there a way to find a replacement for the hub/brake assembly?
3-what is the best source?  
4-what info do I need to replace all?  Bolt pattern, axle capacity, and thimble size?

Lastly, I am thinking about moving the axle from above the springs to below for more clearance.  The axle itself has a slight bow up in the middle.  Is that intentional or the result of damage?  Assuming the bow is intentional, is it as simple as moving the axle, in the same orientation, from above to below the leaf springs (and maybe new "U" bolts?

Thanks in advance.

Dexter Axle Parts!

AXLES - Why are some axles bent in the middle?
The upward bend in the axle is called "camber". Camber is the angular relationship of the wheel to the road suface in the vertical plane. Axles are typically built with a pre-determined bend in the tube that compensates for the expected deflection under load.

MISCELLANEOUS - How can I change the height of my trailer?
Dexter offers an over/under conversion kit for leaf spring axles. The two different kits available are K71-384-00 for axles with 2-3/8" diameter tube and K71-385-00 for axles with 3" diameter tube. Please note that these conversion kits CANNOT be used with reinforced spring seats. Additionally, changing the spring mounting from underslung to overslung (or vice versa) will change the trailer frame height and change the center of gravity of the trailer. This may affect the towing characteristics of the trailer.

It may be easier to just replace the brake/hub assembly. On a trailer that old, it all may need it anyway. Might even be just as cheap to get the assembly.

I cannot think of my source website for brakes, but if I do, I'll come back.

I bought our brake assemblies at a local trailer shop.
