Bought Chinese '39 - '48 drums ($200 each) from Speedway for my A powered hot rod. I balance the drums and check the roundness in a lathe and on both counts, these drums were absolutely correct. NAPA bearings were "heche" in Mexico. The bottom line is that even if you can afford high dollar made in the USA stuff, certain items are just not available anymore.
