Post Chinesium Parts

Subscribed .

I know people who've had Chinese repop stuff made, they send an original part to be copied the pre production parts comes back and it's *perfect* so they sign the contract and then get slammed with zero quality junk .

Many simply don't care, they know up front that most retail buyers will accept the cheap crap and won't bother to make an complaints .

I went through this with repop 1956 ~ 1959 VW turn signal switches and when I took a bad one back they had a jig set up on a work bench to "test" them and the sales guy SLAMMED the switch hard, you cannot do this when it's clamped to the mast jacket, they know it, tough tukis buddy .
