Hi Richard. Yes,there were lots of things eventually made for our cars abroad. The point is, if you want say a nut and bolt, you get them coming in from all over the world,mostly China, because they can throw them out by the million. Not that they are really anywhere near as good as ones that you can get made in this country. Problem being, the quality is about 10% of the quality of those made here. Price wise they are about one quarter of the price of those made here. The old saying ‘you pays your money and take your choice still applies’
