This was in response to wtw's post "Cowl Induction - Vacuum Actuator" but i figured i'd put it out where everybody could see it.
Wtw, I don't have any experience with those repro actuators and I have no idea what quality that particular part is but I just had to say something. Why and the heck do these companies that reproduce these parts keep putting out these inferior products (junk in many cases) yet continue to call them quality products. Seems to me that in many instances they put in 99.9% of the effort needed to making a good part and then just before its done they leave something out that makes all the difference. I have seen some good reproduction pieces but I've seen many more that were just plain high price junk. Let's all do this. When some company sends you a poor product that was advertised as being an excellent reproduction ( or some similar wording), let's all send it back with a BIG NOTE that says. "Me and the Boys ain't taking this crap No More" ........maybe the industry will finally get the hint........GT now, it is not my intention to start any particular supplier bashing here so don't guys, I am just stating some facts about reproduction parts in general throughout the resto industry
