FLASHERS

Not people. I am talking about turn signal flashers. Mine quit working and I pulled it and found it was made over there. I went to Advance Auto and bought one that was MADE IN USA. Thank GOD some things still are.

China may seem to have the world market cornered, but I have installed fuel filters made in Israel, Motorcraft batteries made in Mexico, motor mounts made in India. I try to buy OE mounts when possible, after having to modify aftermarket pieces, sometimes it is actually cheaper. Believe it or not.

You are right on. The flasher was $6.29 compared with the same cheap junk at wally world for $1.50. I feel much better paying the $6.29.
