[QUOTE="Tob, post: 11885841, member: 83412"] Welcome our Dark Overlord part suppliers with open arms. Any number of items on the S197 already comes with quite a few items from around the globe on it and much of that is Chinese. Next time you're around Nardo cruisin' at ~202mph in your [i]GT5[/i], just remember where your wheels were forged...

[ATTACH=full]333633[/ATTACH] Unless it is indeed TIG'd atop the older unit and Ford just eliminated a step. I wonder if Ford is having this piece final assembled and welded here in the US? Most MIG/TIG work I've seen from China has been atrocious. Then again, the welds on the older unit look to be far superior to the newer welds I see on the bottom of these units. [/QUOTE]
