I can agree with that. I also think it is necessary to find some way of
shopping for quality rather than for price. Just how that would work, I am
afraid I do not know. I will cheerfully spend more for a better part, but
how can I tell which is the best quality? They all look the same in the
catalog and every supplier will tell you that his are the best. People who
shop at Walmart deserve what they get. I personally shop from a couple of
sources, including a supplier who has multiple sources and is able to tell
me which one has the best quality of a particular part at least some of the
time.
I don't see how buying an SU fuel pump is really going to help much,
however.
