[Amc-list] AMerica Drums (cont'd)

[JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I spoke too soon.  The Centrifuse brand brake drums
were produced by the Hayes Lemmerz company.

Here is an excerpt from an article about the buyout of
the Wheland foundary by Hayes:

This facility is a tremendous addition to our
capabilities," said Fred Bently, president of
commercial highway and aftermarket for Hayes Lemmerz.
"It's another way for Hayes Lemmerz to continue to
extend our Centrifuse product and provide additional
value added services. We believe this transaction was
a win-win situation for everyone involved." 

Centrifuse Castings are steel shell high alloy brake
castings from which Hayes Lemmerz manufactures its
Centrifuse brake drums. Under terms of the current
sale agreement, Hayes Lemmerz will pay $4.1 million to
acquire the facility and assets.
