The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors Rubber Products Fail on 1954 3600, Guess I wasted my money?

A good return policy is a lousy proxy for low quality. The cost to install many of these parts we are talking about way exceeds the actual part cost. There doesn't appear to be any quality control as far as the chemical composition of the rubber products coming from China, and that is the problem. Most of these anecdotal accounts mention non-steele rubber parts from decades ago as okay, but there are few accounts of good products in recent years. I haven't had much luck with any of the offshore rubber items.
