Good luck with that, I searched everywhere and finally found a set at an old parts store that had prob been on the shelf for 20 yrs.

No, but nice that you ask.. If everyone searched and asked for USA made, we might still have US companies making our goods.

It's either Mexico or Canada. There in North America.....
As one of our bronco brothers said, "If we would request parts made in the USA", and buy the parts that are made here, "Maybe there would still be more automotive parts made here."

Waupaca Foundry has plants in Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Indiana. They make brake drums, rotors, and other stuff for the auto industry. Not sure if their parts end up on parts store shelves, or what name they'd be sold under.

Most everything that comes in a Raybestos or Bendix box these days is foreign made.

Even though some of the boxes still said made in USA last time I tried - and failed - the obtain a set of "Made in USA" drums fro my '78. Heck...from two Raybestos boxes I pulled one Mexican and one Indian drum and they didn't even look the same.%)
