Sounds sort of like a part made by New Star mabe? My experiance with Chineese is that they do great copies, often-times just a scoush less finnished looking ie. crude looking. Their alloys are ALWAYS inferior to ours. I would warn you, advise you rather, that so often because of the softer alloys, it is imperative that you use SAE AMERICAN bolts and not the Chineese bolts, if provided by them. Upon removal of Chineese 6-7 out of 10 bolts showed sighns of galling on the threads. I would also use grey hi-temp silicone if at all possable, without offending and clogging a pasageway or critical area easily clogged by the aforesaid silicone. What I am trying to put in big red letters, is that it is, if it's from China......inferior. FIRST TIME fitting, BECAUSE when you do tighten down and torque to spec, you DO not want to remove it until it fails, no monkeying with it. It's kind of like Japaneese cars of the 60's and 70's with their aluminum heads, realy a one-time affair. Yea some of the motorheds reused them, but you remember they seemed to always be a hassel again and again leaking somewhere. Simply that is my experiance with Chineese stuff, of which I had a store in So. Cal. where we sold Bikes, Quads, scooters, generators, and all kinds of spares, along with repair. It's this repair where it was apparent the lesser quality of their esentially Honda copys. But I hope that the product provides good service for you and hope you will let us see your thoughts and how the replacement and running go. I would like to hope they come drom an American brand like CAT or IH or Ford or? Newstar seems to be the one making the New Deuces now, if I'm not mistaken, in Korea or China
You might get away with hardware store bolts in certain places on the body and frame and such, but an IP Pump is sort of like 'way critical stuff'
I'm Shuddering
