    [QUOTE=Glacier 73;59516]I cant understand how they cant get it right with all the technology they have got today
    here is an original one copy that exactly how fricken hard can it be its metal ffs[/QUOTE

    I can. At the last place I worked we used a chrome plater in SA to hard chrome the raw material we used. They had massive chrome tanks (up to 4m long) that would fit the car companies press dies in. They said it was not uncommon for the dies to come back a second time to have more chrome added so they could get the "spring back" correct on a panel. I thought this odd but when talking to a cousin who is a mathematics expert at Xmas function a few years previous I asked what he was doing. He explained he was working on equations that would be used in software that Ford was having developed that would predict spring back for pressed body panels. So if someone like Ford Motor Co are still hit and miss what chance has a aftermarket parts producer in Taiwan got!
