a weird brake question

i want to put brakes on my car hauler trailer, but due to the design of the axles, electric brakes are not an option. so i have to use juice brakes.
that is not a problem, it has 60's GM spindles on it, so i can either put nova of falcon backing plates and drums on it.
the problem is on how to get the brakes to work. surge masters are not all they are cracked up to be. does anyone know of a way to run juice brakes, but run them off of an electric brake controller??
