Where is the best place to get rear brake drums for my 1960 TDH 4516? I searched for the GM part number and I took photos and measurements just incase something has been changed, but I think they look like the drawings in the parts book. Mohawk didn't hit on their site for the part number but it may have been replaced with a new cross reference number.

Call LUKE at Us Coach 888COACH 34.

Remember drums come in a number of quality levels.

Simply cast for low speed transits all the way to fully machined for high speed smoothness.

You get what you pay for.

When you buy drums spend the extra couple of bucks AND GET BALANCED DRUMS! I chased a balance issue for several years 'till I noticed that the drums weren't balanced. They were so unbalanced as to rotate around to the heavy spot when the tire was off.

Luke was down in Florida with all of us in Arcadia, and then set out to catch up with family before heading back north to work.

I expect he has a big pile of paper to wade through.

As noted, try the phone.

happy coaching!
