Hello! I am needing to replace the shower stems in the shower stall in the master bath. I have a Palm Harbor Home from 1995. Is this going to be one of those parts that I won't be able to find at a hardware store? I haven't yet pulled it out to identify which brand, just thought that maybe all of you knowledgeable people could give me a heads up, what your experience has been.

Thanks!

Hi & welcome. I think that finding parts for most of the original faucets is going to be a crap shoot. Between the stores stocking less and less "Odd ball" parts and the manufacturers using off brand parts it could be a tough find. I would try a few smaller local full service hardware stores first, but you may end up replacing the faucet.
