And I suspect that is the way it usually goes. It's not that Vendor A sells
good parts and Vendor B sells bad ones; but that all of them get batches of
parts from time to time that aren't quite right. And as much as we would
like for them to do 100% incoming inspection, realistically it's just not
going to happen (nor, I think, would we be willing to pay for what that
inspection would cost).
I don't know what the solution is; except to inspect them yourself and
return them if there is a problem. But that doesn't work very well either,
when you've never seen an original in good condition and so are not certain
if, for example, the door seals should be soft or firm or a mixture of both.
(Original TR3 door seals have a relatively firm outer layer and a very soft
'squishy' core.)
