Hammerblow hubs

Question

I know these Hammerblow hubs are ancient and long out of production, but 3 out of the 4 hubs on my trailer are in good shape. One is missing the brake "guts" and I'd rather find an old hub to cannibalize for parts than have to replace the entire axle.

It's just for a short haul trailer, and I can just wire up the front axle brakes and be just fine... This is an OCD thing.

So does anybody know of a trailer "graveyard" or some obscure shop that deals in these things?

They just tell you how to figure out IF there might be one.Really the only practical solution is to replace the entire axle, but then the hubs won't match front to back, so I'll have to replace the other one...Too bad because these hubs seem really robust compared to the Dexter style ones we have now.
