Does anyone know who may sell rebuilt wheel cylinders, specifically for a 1962 Belvedere, front drums?

The reason I ask is because every new one I have looked at is obviously chinese made, but the real issue is the dinky bleeder valve. M6x1.0. luckily I had a good set that I rebuilt for the rear but need one for the front right. The stupid bleeder is bent from tightening it down and I can see it snapping if I look at it wrong. The other three made in USA cylinders have the good old 5/16-24 bleeder.
 
I bought some rear drum cylinders from NAPA for my 69 belvedere and they have a big "MADE IN USA" cast into their bodies. Food for thought.
 
Thanks. I will stop by and see if they can order one in so I can look at it. I just sent one back to RockAuto that was shown with USA markings in the pic but showed up chicom, just like the $5 version. Three on my car are rebuilt USA but the front rt cylinder isn't and the old one got thrown out. I would pay to have on sleeved but I have no core. Bugs me that one cylinder is different.
 
Found a few "oem" brake cylinders on ebay that people want waaaay too much for because of the Mopar box. I think I did find an original in my parts box but I need to check the bore. Added speed bleeder to all 4 corners (three stock size and the one m6 size) Brakes are good, no leaks and pedal is firm.
