Hi,
Hopefully not a too stupid question:
I found the "Coach Talk" page in the files area listing Beaver year and brake part numbers for 1996-1998 and 1999-2002. My question is: do these years refer to the build year or the model year? My 1999 Patriot (1998 build) is right on the cutoff point. Does anybody know? Also, I called Ott’s Friction Supply number listed on the sheet and they are no longer in business.
Thanks,
Scott Harris

It is best to try and match the parts you have as Beaver or more accurately in this case Safari motor coach made running changes through their production on their Magnum chassis.
Let's start with some of the basics does your coach have air over hydraulic disc brakes or hydraulic over hydraulic ( power steering pump ) over .
Or does it have true air disc brakes.
Does your coach have ABS.
Is the parking brake a drum brake or a disc brake on the bake of the transmission
If you coach is air over hydraulic this link may help

Thanks for your reply.
It is air over hydraulic. Disk Brakes. With ABS. I believe the parking brake is drum (that is what I remember a technician telling me).
I am not doing the work myself but the shop is having trouble figuring out the right parts.

Scott, what parts are you looking for?
The part # on coach net may fit something but did not help me.
