I have the photo's on my phone ... now just have to figure out how to get them on here since I bailed out of Photobucket when they wanted their financial bucket filled to host photo's. The brakes on my trailer look to be the same as the ones on your BAE Systems trailer Mick. Certainly has the two locating pivot pins at the bottom and the top spring hooks to each brake shoe through a hole in each (as opposed to going to a pin on the backing plate like some drums I've seen). Might get some time tomorrow to work out the (free) photo hosting issue.
Cheers

Would a set of 12" caravan brakes work. You can buy backing plates complete with drums, shoes, whole kit and caboodle from trailer parts suppliers for next to nothing.
Good luck

Yeah, I wouldn’t go with electric units. I doubt you’d get a drum to fit the existing stub axles to be honest - the C&C has huge stubs. The drums for standard trailers like this aren’t like what’s on your trailers - the drum runs the bearings in it, it doesn’t fit over an existing hub like you need. You’ll be better off looking at vehicle brakes not trailer brakes.

The Alko site shouild give you what you need, but it will depend on how original you want to keep it. If you want it as a user, rather than a showpiece, then i would think that you would be best to go to a marine type disc brake, as on a boat trailer if you are doing water crossings, other wise a 12" electric caravan drum brake would give you the better brakes. Either way you will need to do some mods.
Good luck

Yes. I have seen conversions done on C&C trailers.
To do as you suggest, the axle will need to be replaced. That's how I got my spare axle.
I'm thinking, a better way to convert would be to just replace the backing plate, cylinders and shoes. The difficult thing is to find a suitable bolt on replacement with a handbrake.
