The best way of building auto reverse brakes is to use the correct hitch and wheel/hub assemblies.  Have a look at the towsure website (the prices will put you off).

The way auto reverse works is that the brake shoes have a cam action in them, so when the wheel rotates backwards the cam spins and releases the brake effort.  Unfortunately these already expensive itmes then need an equaly expensive coupling head/overunn mechanism to operate the cable brakes.

One way of getting LR wheels would be to look for a damaged horsebox.  But I'm already looking and havn't seen one I can afford yet.  If you get the chassis plate from the horsebox though you can just 'rebody' it, ie keep the chassis etc and therefore use whatever brakes it has, legally.
