Re: [Amc-list] Brake Drums for a 63 American

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I emailed back and forth with Jim Taylor over at Rockauto about this.
They do not like to pull the listings till they are sure they will not be able to get a restock.
The man hours are too high to keep everything in check.
He apologized and they usualy state the item will take a while to ship as they do try to get items when they are ordered.
   A lot of stuff is Chinese and overseas made which means shipments of certain castings/ items may only come in once every six months. If they pull the listing when they run out of stock, then in 3 months get more they have to reenter the info.
   He seemed to honestly not like it any more then we do, but the alternative is to not even try to stock the older stuff.
Then they'd probably stop casting it. Parts are drying up as the years go by. let not hasten the process.
