Default More Repro "Junk"

O.K...........I just got another "Education" with Reproduction "JUNK"......If you are putting your car together, be very careful of the sheetmetal "Nuts" you use....I used this type for installing the inner fender panels in my Chevelle a couple of years ago...Had to remove the panel for some repairs and when trying to unscrew the bolts.....the nuts broke out of the clip body.......Ended up grinding the bolt heads off.......The clip body is soft and the cross section where the nut is coined in is so small it can't accept any force to speak of and the nut just breaks out and spins.........."Don't" make the same mistake I did.........Be selective in buying these cage nuts and use U.S. made "Real" ones......."Chinese Junk".......Did I say "Chinese Junk" and shame on the retailers that have no Concern other than making a "Profit"......Just my $.02 about "Chinese Junk" again....
