OK, I understand that a Sprite owner would be more likely to be accepting to
a lower quality part.  But I hear Big Healey owners voicing the same
concerns.  Your talking $10,000 to $30,000 cars here.  There are people who
have had to resort to making their own parts that will work because the part
available will not.

Should I expect my cars parts to be the finest available, maybe not.  But I
should expect that the quality be as good as what was on the car in the
first place.  Especially in the drivetrain.  Ask Frank about how often he
has gone through timing chains.  These were inexpensive cars, the parts were
fairly simple.  But accepting parts that are basically worthless if you
intend to use it regularly is impractical and unacceptable
