olddrums, it was finally in the mid 70's i have a mid 70's 402 that it came stock with them on it, it took me a day to figure out why does this 402 sound different than my other 402's out comes the magnet, I test the rims and boom their brass, and my others are steel rims, but it was somwhere in that time frame!!

I believe it was some point in '64 that the hoops start gradually switching over to steel. I've had 2 '64 kits that had some of both. By '66 they're almost always COS.

Thanks,

Bill

olddrums. mlvibes is correct, but was an option until the mid 70's, but no one hardly did it after the mid 60's
