I replaced the clutch pad and the gas filler tube grommet 16 months ago and both have cracks in them now. The "original" filler tube grommet that I removed was in better shape than the new one is now. I bought them from a well known vendor, and each cost less than $5. These items if purchased from a "highly recommended" vendor cost 500% more than these did. I may have already answered my own question, but is my experience similar to what others have found?
