I make no comment on the factuality of the assertions presented, but I
suppose the moral is when buying NOS, caveat emptor.
Very interesting web page.
There are many fake parts out there and companies must be careful to
protect themselves from this sort of fraud.
I've had problems with many parts that are sold as replacements yet are
of such poor quality that they collapse or bend or simply won't fit.
Because of this I am avoiding the low price companies and trying to buy
stock only from reputable dealers who will stand behind their products
if a problem is found.
