No problems because these guys are professional, well experienced Model A brake people who know what they are doing .... and they not only do this every day ..... they also back up and warrant their professional services.

Why do your comments always seem to imply that others who have posted in this thread do not know what they're doing nor have any professional experience as compared to a fellow who came on the scene a few years back trying to make a dollar off cheaper, Chinese made, gray iron drums which are not as strong nor as safe as the drums made of ductile iron sold by the main catalog vendors?
