Stop in for a cup of coffee

I find it amazing that a company will go thru all the effort to repop parts, like that console top, and not have it be PERFECT fitting. Why bother? I mean were glad they exist at all, but how much harder to make it right?

It's hard to get the fit right when you reverse engineer a part... If you don't know the original dimension and tolerance, then you use a production part as the master, how do you know that production part was not one that was to the outer edge of the spec limit, then you copy that and add your tolerance and it goes outside the original manufacturer part print spec...

Most manufacturers don't give their print and specs out for others to copy...
