Bob, it's two big mistakes...one is to contract with China to manufacture something of poor quality that we could make over here and two for those greedy enough to put fellow Americans in a position of having to pay the price for such poor quality. I apologize for the negative comment guys but I just purchased some valve cover gaskets from one of the well known "Packard" supply houses and they also came from China...Although quality was good in this case, the shipping cost me darn near as much as the gaskets so next time I'll buy the gasket material and make them.

There may be a modern replacement but that wasn't my point. Point is that going to China to have replacement parts manufactured is probably a mistake.
