Re: New example
I have this thing for correct radiator caps. The repro cap have for a long time had a "tell" that the circular arrow end was open when all originals had the arrow end closed like a little triangle. I juged a 69 last week in Florida that the arrow end on the repro cap was closed! They're learning! But the lettering stamp, letters, thickness of the metal, and chisled edges are still wrong. It's amazing how few original caps are out there. I found two at the swap meet. $3 for both.
My other favorite is the wing nut on the aircleaner. The repro with it's heavy thick casting (nickle thickness) and the original with it's thinner metal(dime thickness)
