1958 front inner wheel bearing B62 durability

Hi
Who has acutally used National B62 front inner wheel bearings (the one with plastic ball cage instead of metal) and can comment on their durability?
Please no generalised comments on chinese made stuff. Thank you

Since you don’t want a comment about inferior products and plastic versus metal as far as strength ?!?!
I will just simply say that I have *** N.O.S. *** U.S.A. made *** REAL
STEEL *** Ball Bearings —- the ONLY Bearings that should be used !!!!

P.M. me , if interested……

Yours, Craig……
