Agree with Jerry on this one. Think the local "national" auto parts stores are pressed for profit margins, especially if publicly traded.

Hoping the "made in the USA" movement continues for materials and parts like this. And....even though I'm not the best craftsman on here, I get a certain amount of satisfaction in making stuff myself when I can.
