I think your standards are too high Laughing
We may be misreading a "1" as a "7".

For my own info - Aren't those just normal Bug/Ghia used drums?
Shouldn't they be like $20 each or something super low?
In his photos the part # is 111405615

It looks like brand new ones are cheaper:
http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/cart/DetailsList.cfm?ID=111405615
Probably cheaper elsewhere too, it's not like WW is the cheapest for all parts.

Nice used one for $57 shipped
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1952846

Just curious if I am missing something "rare" about these drums.
