Default Re: Bob Drake - why overseas?

I have a set of Bob Drake waterpumps on my flattie. I can run 7lbs pressure and a tight belt without any leaks, and they flow marvellously. I am well pleased with them, regardless of where they came from.
I import a line of guitars from China (S.Yairi) that are the equal of Martins and Taylors at a quarter of the price. In todays economy, price is the driving factor. This line proves to me that the chinese are fully capable of making product of a high standard.
