Number is same as the drums I got for the front couple months ago -- ND 4401071. But these drums have a 1/4" plate about 1/2 x 3" welded onto the exterior, about an inch in from the edge. None of my old drums nor the new front drums from NAPA had the plate. Dumb question - What is this plate for? Different application? Will it affect balance or wheel fit on a 52? You can see it in the photo. http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?R=NDA4401071_0325238087
