Default 992 Smog Check Valves

Is there a judged difference, noticeable difference between the ORIGINAL Yellow Zinc Plated
992 Check Valves and the REPRODUCTION Ones offered on line ??

If there is a difference, how difficult to find Replated Originals ????

For reference only here are 3 NOS and 1 used.

Usually some re-done ones on epay.
They do not match NOS ones.

Thought you wanted to know if re-pops or re-plated one's match originals.

We know exactly zero about judging standards
Sorry

Thats more than the 3 NOS in box ones cost me.
They are not that hard to find.

Note difference in plating NOS-v- replated.
