These repro parts dealers should be on "Dancing With the Stars"! They sure are talented at dancing around the basic issue of quality control. They also excel at "Creative Excuse Writing 101"! Does it really cost any extra to make a part to correct specifications instead of to a wrong dimension? Take the emergency brake lever as an example: How much more would it cost to use the correct gauge metal? 20 cents per lever? 50 cents? It's not much, that's for sure! Off shore manufacturers can produce any quality level the customer desires and pays for. Surely these repro dealers are capable of exercising due diligence in ensuring that OEM standards are being met by the factories they contract with.
