SWAPMEET..... yeah, went throught that after waiting 6 months for an oil pan from Milodon who kept saying they were making it..... then at the end told us that it isnt being made by their Chinese plant anymore. Go figure.
Anyways, I am just frustrated. I keep paying and waiting only to be disappointed time and time again. When you buy the lower priced stuff you expect it, but when you buy the premium stuff you dont.....until now.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a stranger to this. I know how it works, and I know why they do it, but sometimes after all the waiting and lies etc I figure that they could have sold the part more than enough in the 6 months they were waiting to offset the cost of welding it up here.
And I always expect the connectors, wire, grommets, hardware, and little things to be offshore regardless of who it is or what its advertised as.... but when it becomes even the CNC machined piece of aluminum, or the laser cut bracket, or the mandrel bent tube....all the pieces that even small guys like me are capable of doing IN HOUSE, then you throw your hands up and say WTF
