Maybe I got lucky a few months ago when I got a wagner slave for my clutch? Sorry to hear they are getting hard to find. I think you can get the same quality and standards in Canada, really have no quibble with parts manufactured there and even Mexico made parts usually have high standards. Besides quality It makes sense to me to buy local.

No Sir , for myself if available made in the USA is the way to go ,all parts manufactures farm there business out for profit .Certain specs must be met when made here or else where .ISO Stuff .Many companies have went south / bankrupt making cheap parts .I don’t care if it’s China ,Canada, Mexico, India it’s the same , American made is American made and usually cost more .! In todays market if it’s cheap crap ,it don’t last long .Most people do not look at tags , just price .Last year I called Napa about front axle bearing and asked where it was made , girl said China ,called Jbgraveyard they has timken bearings ,Made in the USA .So in that choice ,Jbg got my business .Friend of mine recently purchased a John Deere tractor to find out it was made in India ,as both mine was made in Augusta Georgia .I have two Harley’s and many accessory parts ,purchased thru Harley and other aftermarket’s parts are made mostly over seas.Oh well in purchasing I still research to find made in USA. JUST GETTING HARDER TO FIND .BIg Company CEOES / Board of Directors make big $$$$$ when they manage farming out parts overseas cutting costs .Keep 250 employees working in in a plant in Texas and many 1000s over seas are doing most part making! This has been An American thing for many years .TR
