Part of the problem is the consumer, if people didn't want cheap parts they wouldn't be able to sell them. All you hear is where can I buy the cheapest part from!!!
Well said.

every vendor sells the same crap.
Not true. When venders try to have a part manufactured in the USA, most customers will not step up and by the parts.

Quote:
they buy it for 2 and sell it for 50.
I wish. If that were true I would have retired a long time ago.

Quote:
they are not willing to pay 20 for a quality part produced in usa.
We would if enough people not only insisted on American made products, but were willing to buy them.

Problem is the customer looks at a fender for $190.00 made in Taiwan, then looks at the same fender made in America for $350.00. What does he buy?
The $190.00 Taiwan Fender and says I can work with that and save the $160.00.

Sad fact but true. There are not enough guys that are willing to pay the price of made in the USA parts for a company to be able to sell them and stay in business. WES
