Hi all,

Thanks for the info. If it was China, I would return it, but Taiwan is ok.
The old one is about 2 years old with < 30k. I recall getting it at NAPA,
and the screw holes weren't tapped! I got a replacement, which obviously
was crap also. At least it's an easy job if I have to do it again...
