Are you suggesting to the list that given the options, that to use your
terms "kitchen table engineered" parts are inferior to what DMC Houston
has to offer? I can think of half a dozen "kitchen table engineered" items
that are not only better than the original item, they are less expensive as
well. In some cases "kitchen table engineered" are so good that you can't
even distinguish them from OEM parts. And of course some are vast
improvements.
I am replying to you in the public section as I think that it is important
for list members, especially new owners, understand the difference between
what you appear to be suggesting and the true state of some replacement
parts not from at DMC Houston.
