Service charter
Drumstead Sourcing coordinates brake drum factory inquiries
Separate buyer, coordinator and supplier responsibilities. This site does not operate a foundry, hold stock or sell under a vehicle-maker licence.
Responsibilities and evidence boundaries
| Decision point | Buyer / supplier question |
|---|---|
| What buyers control | Application requirements, optional budget and supplier preference, quantity, destination, and the final acceptance decision. Buyers also decide whether a cross-reference candidate is allowed to replace the original identifier. |
| What the service coordinates | Requirement clarification, requests for drawings and dimension reports, and documented quotation comparisons on a shared packing and Incoterms basis. Drumstead Sourcing does not inspect plants or certify suppliers unless a separate, evidenced engagement is later recorded. |
| What suppliers confirm | Fitment references, production scope, material grade, sample terms, batch identifiers, shipment commitments and warranty scope for the stated drum only. |
| What remains open | No plant-ownership identity, licence claim, customer count, lead-time promise or savings claim is implied. Contacts, maps and phone numbers are omitted because none are on file for this site. |
The service name exists so buyers can identify the coordinator in correspondence. It is not a vehicle brand and it is not a brake drum manufacturer name. When a supplier document names a third-party reference, that name is used only to ask questions; it is not transferred as a Drumstead Sourcing credential.
What to send
Vehicle, part reference, quantity and destination, plus any drawing revision you already hold.
