I'll agree w/ them that like Steele - some of the repop shops distribute for Steele, who make their own rubber, w/ good UV inhibiters [and have a 'library' of originals they made the molds from] some use other suppliers whose parts are shopped out to the lowest bid 'off-shore' makers - IMO Soff'Seal is one of the 'others', and they supply a number of the repop places - never had anything from them that was 100%, never had anything from Steele that wasn't
