Tomcat,
I was going to reply to you last night but got busy.
Between India and Taiwan, im going Taiwan.
I dont understand these guys in India. They obviously have the ability to move sheet metal, even by hand some seem very talented. Others, not so much. The gauge of metal they use is fine, its not tin foil.
Why cant they pull their heads out of their butts and make parts the right shape? Most times, they are "close" but off just enough.

Then I hear of parts that are rusting in transit. How much does it take to soak these parts in 50% vinegar/ 50% water and give them a rub with scotchbrite to protect them from rust? Or spray them down and wipe them off with your favorite used motor oil and send them wrapped inside a garbage bag? Yes, oiled new parts is a pain for the painter, but its easier to deal with than rust. Especially on something inside like a tank.
They all want to sell 10,000 parts, which is fine. Whichever one figures out correctly shaped, protected parts is what people want will sell them.
These cats that spend the time to write "bestest quality" and figuring out who is going to pay return shipping are not getting it done.
