As is most all reproduction parts from the large vendors. Had a quote last year for 45,000 bolts. USA made the cheapest of 28 quotes was 0.34 each unplated. The only overseas quote just for comparison was 0.12 each plated to my specifications. I went the USA route but I can see why the old saying money talks.

On to the original topic. I have used a drake radiator in a 40 once with no issues. But as a drake dealer I won’t stock them due to the risk of Ken’s situation
