Folks,
Why do not suppliers say ""this is the "standard" rubber bit and here is
the "deluxe" rubber bit. You choose and pay your money""
I got some parts recently and I had a choice between two qualities - One
was 50% more expensive but miles better quality (I am doing up a car to
last - guess which one I bought??)

in the first place).
