  I'll agree with you all the way on this Glen.

  That said we are approaching a point, sadly, where certain new =
replacement parts are of such dubious quality, that I am wondering how =
we can move forward. =20

  TR3 steering box parts come to mind.

    My point is in regard to Vintage, not to SCCA or any other Club =

purely for safety reasons, and fully support the use of those upgrades.
    I just think that in Vintage we should stick with stock-based =

Yes, the repro TR6 lower trunnions are crap.  I got mine from BPNW. Never
again.
 I'm glad I was able to score a nice set of OEM pieces from Ed Barnard on
ebay.

We put two new repro trunnions on that car when we built it for Lemons. I kn=
ow one was replaced with a used one from my parts bin.  I fill the trunnions=
 with oil for assembly and the repro ones leaked. I think we used sealant to=
 try to make them work and gave up on one of them. They are junk. =20
