It's like I've always said, everything you create has your signature on

it.  In my Case, Hooker wasn't good, in your case, it was.  If vendors

could only maintain quality across all applications,  but what I

sincerely believe is this... just like us regular folks, vendors have

their favorites, ie. most vendors prefer to create bowtie parts.  Thus,

many vendors don't concentrate on quality across all applications.  



Maybe I just got lucky on those Heddmann headers the first time.
