Frank, I know it would be hard to find over there, but original speed parts are usually much higher quality than the reproduction stuff. Still need some fine tuning, but better quality. If you saw a set of original Fenton headers next to the repros, you wouldn't believe the difference. | | |

Not all of us are as handy around a machine as the many here. We rely on the experts to get us through the dark of night. It is with huge gratitude that they participate here. And we also rely on those who profit from our addiction to produce quality. When quality slips, we wonder about a manufacturers intentions. And those who distribute those products.
I was very disappointed when I pulled those two pieces of cast iron out of the box. I see I was not alone. :mad: | | |
