But none of the Big 3 <br>offer feedback on their parts, ratings with stars, if you will, as other <br>product/sites do (like Amazon). So, we trust. And sometimes the parts are <br>good. Sometimes, slave cylinders (for instance) are of unacceptable quality. <br>The best we can do, in that case, is to offer clear feedback to sellers of <br>inferior LBC parts.

spot on, there may be some truth to "not wanting to spend a penny more" for
many, the Roadster Factory and Moss offer levels of quality on some items.
But mostly the parts are bought mail order, or whatever you call it these
days, from a major distributor, site unseen, from a catalog which most likely is
has a copy of the factory parts book diagram, with a reference to the diagram, a
part number and a price below (and no other description) . I vendor A
sells the part cheaper then vendor B, they sell more, go figure.</font></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
