Here is a link illustrating why so many of us become frustrated with poor quality reproduction parts. This is a door handle relay spring for my 1951 Chevy half ton. The one on the top left is the broken original spring. The one on the top right is a NOS (new old stock) or NORS (new old replacement stock) spring that I bought from a dealer on Ebay. The one on the bottom is one I bought new from one of our well known parts vendors. I installed the one on the bottom and it fit too poorly and was too weak to function. I then placed the one on the top right and, of course, it works as it should.

I wish the vendors would take note and demand better quality from their wholesale suppliers.
