Anyone aggravated by repro parts that don't quite fit?

I am. A lot of the enjoyment of installing new parts to replace old, unusable pieces has been diluted because of the extra effort needed to make something fit, when it should just drop right in or on.

1. Reproduction '67-69 A-body washer bottle for non-electric washers. It looks nice, made nice, has the awesome Mopar authorized reproduction part sticker on it, but the thing is made about 1/2 inch too short between the mounting holes. Hold the original up to it, yep it's off. Plus, the supplied hardware is cheesy and not like what they used originally.

2. Reproduction pre-74 A-body cardboard glovebox liner. Looks nice, seems well-made other than the cardboard is glossy and the original is not. Went in well until I discovered one hole was either misaligned, or missing totally. Couldn't tell which because it was the last one and I wasn't taking it back out.

3. This one really smoked me. 1965-66 C-body positive battery cable that set me back over $160 clams by the time it got here. For that kind of money it should have fit PERFECTLY, but it didn't. The solenoid connection that uses a fork-type terminal was produced too small and wouldn't slide on without spreading the "forks". Then, the overall cable length is too short and will only barely be able to be retained under the nylon harness straps. There are other examples but suffice to say I almost never have anything that installs smoothly.

This stuff would probably slide past if there weren't original parts extant to compare them to and reveal how off they are. I would be very curious to know where all these things are manufactured....
