The Nev-R-Adjust Electric Brake Assembly for 6K pound axles # 23-459, # 23-458 and the brake assembly for the 7K pound axles #23-464, # 23-465 are interchangeable in that both are mounted on a 5-bolt pattern and would fit on 12 inch hub/drums.
However, the 7K brake has a stronger magnet and upgraded brake shoes with greater stopping power than the 6K.
Even though they would fit, you would not want to put the 6K Nev-R-Adjust # 23-459, # 23-458 on a trailer with a 7K pound axle. You could put the 7K Nev-R-Adjust # 23-464, # 23-465 on a trailer with an axle capacity of lower than 7K.
