On the other hand, if they make them like the stainless center-dumps I bought, I'd be all over them.

It depends on the standards set by the American companies that order them. Do you really think there is any kind of a market for flathead parts in China?

Hey Coop, I think I got the first line figured out, without buying a vowel.

That's What's Wrong With our Economy, A.

Who can figure out the rest, get's a free set of Offys, from Coop's stash.

What about Turkey? We can make that cheap stuff too you know.



Why is it always China, China, China with Americans.



We have a corrupt government in place and the same situation with the poor being oppressed by the wealthy as China, but get no love.

So far, you're well on your way to becoming a pretty astute investigator. No OFFYs in my stash, though!

I have a nice set of early 49 Offy heads with the angle thermostat housing and the correct housings. Wonder what they're worth. Most guys have never seen a set before.
