The NMW stuff is really cool. All of their stuff is old USA high quality fabrication.

Now the Rocket on the other hand, I got the impression was off-shore "knock'off" quality. Might have been a US company, but more built off-shore and assembled state side at best. Kinda cool, but kinda not given the vintage time line.

I mentioned this in another post, but I owned and operated a couple of speed shops in the mid to late seventies. Rocket stuff was, well, not that good in comparison to others. We even hated putting it on the shelves or hanging it up if it was shipped to us as a substitute part by a WD. If you had a Rocket part beside (for example) the Mr. Gasket piece they copied, customers would never grab the Rocket part. After a while, I got wise and refused parts subbed with Rocket pieces. Some of the better WD's even stopped carrying it.

My two cents.
