Re: More Repro "Junk"
What I don't get is how/why a lot of this junk is allowed to be sold...it's dangerous!.
A couple years back I was helping a lad put a tractor back together he'd restored and we were working from his pile of shiny 'new' hardware that he'd picked up at the local TSC store.. The rear fenders were held on by long carriage bolts and as soon as I pulled the nuts tight and the length tension became necessary, the round heads just popped off!. Looking closer at the bolts, the round head's were a completely separate piece and only held on by the chroming process...not a real one piece design which is what a carriage bolt is all about!. No big problem in this curcumstance but if someone bolted critical parts together and they were tightened to the edge of failure...then popped off in use???. I think the time's soon upon us where those that care will be sick of the sh*t parts and happy to pay three times the price or whatever's necessary for quality materials...made right here in North America!. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif ~ Pete |
