Damn it !!!

Was out putting a new starter relay into my Ranger.
Just about done and was just snugging up the 2 bolts that hold the
battery in and batter out cables. Snugged it just a tad bit to much
and
broke the damned thing....... It started right up anyway but I will
have
to get to town and get another 1.

Got to looking at it and what a piece of crap.
Made in China.
The stud insert just went to the plastic with 0 support around it.
No way it wouldn't crack open if more then finger tight.
Will go to town tomorrow and pick up a better quality part.
Will cost me more but it will at least last thru the installation.

No offence to individual Chinese people but I wonder why China insists on
turning out such rubbish. They would still be cheaper than most things the
west makes even if they spent an extra 50% on quality improvement. Trouble
is, in Australia almost every consumer product is Chinese. Now they are
starting to export cars to Aust. Think I,ll pass on them.

I think that's 50/50. 50% is some imitation/copy crap. 50% is
someone's crapy specification.

the Chinese will build/produce anything you want.... they are more than
capable of producing quality parts/products, unfortunately since everyone
wants cheap folks outsource to china because cheap is easy to get.....

Either way you get 100% crap.

check carefully, sometimes you will pay more for a better "quality" (touted
as such) part, and it may be just as big of a piece of **** as the cheap
one...
