Brake parts and left/right drum question

Post by rc51racer »

The drums on my truck had been removed before I got it and is missing the anchor bolt washers and anchor bolt oil washers.

Are there any sources of these that I might find locally?

Also the drums have left and right part numbers, how do I know which drums go on which side?

The drums are the same part number. It is the hub that is left and right but only due to the wheel lug threads being left or right handed threads. Left handed studs go on the left side of the truck.

We have many take-off backing plates complete with all the parts you need and then some. Give us a shout if interested.
