That would not surprise me. Just like stainless or other metals. I think you may have hit the nail on the head.... Then again...in the case of the car I had.. it was a "new to me" german car in the 1980s... I should hope they didn't use chinese anything... at least not considering the price of the parts. awesome to drive though. German engineering can be great but for some reason, they tried to reinvent the wheel on the 2 Audis I had. Badly designed connectors on the tail-light assemblies and horrible vacuum pump driven door locks. > Short Version: Q - Why to the Brits drink warm beer? > A - Because Lucas makes the refrigerators! hehe been there dealt with that... though.. for some reason I still covet pre 70's MGs. :) Cheers, Roy _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://liveaboardonline.com/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardonline.com/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
