New brakes

I’m gonna replace my old matco sl cut brakes on my kitfox 2, I found some cracks in them.

 

Matco wrote this to me, has anyone replaced with this setup?

 

That is the old WHLB5 brake assembly.  You can replace the entire brake assembly with the WHLB5-3 or the WHLB5-7

The advantage would be the replacement of the brake plate, linings, and changing your stationary brake shoe from aluminum to steel.  You would need th spacer on your axle that goes between the brake plate and the inboard wheel bearing to be longer by the difference between your aluminum brake plate and the new steel version (bout 1/8 inch)
