Steele is $70 vs JC $20 - sorry for confusion.

Maybe, maybe not. Steel's parts are usually the best (and are almost always the most expensive). JC sells good parts (and might even be reselling Steele parts).

I just bought a windshield gasket from JC, and the rubber cowl top, and cowl side gaskets. They were all really nice, and much, much better quality than the ones I bought for my last project from taiwan.
I was just too-cheap to buy the gaskets from steele.
That's my two cents. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | my understanding is Steele sells to vendors at a certain discount [dependent on volume] from their listed 'retail' price, with the agreement that they [Steele] won't retail for less than the listed price - the vendors are free to sell at whatever price they choose, more, the same, less
