Installing brakes

As my airstream is very old. And I have completely gutted it and rebuilt it from the inside. I have a concern that my disc brakes I have no controller do I have to change everything out to use an electric brake controller. Can I utilize the Rotors and add some type of electric caliper?

You need an electric over hydraulic actuator such as this: https://www.etrailer.com/Brake-Actua...BoCTyUQAvD_BwE


Then set your brake controller to hydraulic and not electric.

Are the hydraulic brakes still original? What about the axles? You may need more than just an actuator.
