My preference is for four new brake back plates
with electric brake bits on the existing axles
and the same drums. The drums are in good shape
and are UTG hubs/drums so getting new ones would
possibly mean new wheels and tires too! The
original brakes were electric, but they are all
gone. All I have are three backing plates. 12"
Drums.
