Smokey Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 I have a trailer with electric brakes and integrated drums/hubs. I'm looking at replacing the brakes and doing the hubs/drums would add another $200-$275 to the project. Mine aren't bad or warped that I can tell, but it'd be nice to start fresh and know they're true. Any shops around town that can turn them? Bonus points the closer they are to the Polaris area.

99StockGT Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 You are going to be hard pressed to find any shop these days that has the machinery to cut drums anymore, let alone a tech who knows what they are doing I don't THINK A-1 Trailer up off 23 does such a thing but its possible. We do turn drums for some of the muscle cars / classics we work on but don't know anything about the drum/hub combos on trailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Tons of old lathes that cut rotors can cut trailer drums. There's nothing uber unique about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I would try 614 Automotive. I messaged him and he's not positive he has the hub adapters for his lathe, he won't know that till he sees the drums.

Smokey Posted July 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Thank you for the suggestions. A-1 trailer doesn't do it or know of anyone that does. Vinny, surprisingly I can't find any shops that turn drums anymore. They all just replace instead. Rick, thanks for the suggestion, I'll check out 614 when I get the drums off.

TurboRust Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Have you checked on the part prices from redneck trailer supply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODoyle Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 O'reilly turns drums and rotors. I have done some pretty large and odd looking drums when I worked there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQdDude Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Automotive specialists on Morse rd 614-476-4309. I know they do rotors and i believe they do drums also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted July 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Have you checked on the part prices from redneck trailer supply? Checked on eTtailer. Since they're integrated drums/hubs and I have the upgraded EZ lube hubs I'd prefer to not replace since they're $50-$60 each for comparable ones it seems.
