You don't want to know what it costs to ship an entire axle to US.

A little late to the game here. I'll echo what a few others said up-stream. If you can make it all work, stick with the original equipment. The mechanical surge brake is elegantly simple and robust - if you do some basic maintenance periodically.

Also, here's a link to an older version of the print catalog for KNOTT. Has tremendous technical detail (exploded views, engineering data, assembly instructions, etc.) While your specific part numbers may not be in there, you can find very close matches that will help with trouble shooting.
