HZ GTS (sports) wheel Horn Badge

Most likely the manufacturer was the same for all the caps and inserts and decided to roll two part numbers into the later one.GMH didn't always check 100% on deliveries and the manufacturer could have just bumped it through. As Dr Terry mentions they often made a supersession, but for smaller items with minor changes they just accepted the changes if recommended by the supplier.. Don't forget that the once the parts became spares and total supply went to Dandenong (HSPO) they had their own buyers and quality department. There were many factors in place that saw many H series parts suppliers changed, parts deleted and then reinstated a couple of years later. An upheaval was more than just a bit, it was substantial.

Couldn't agree more! I could give a couple of examples of when a change of manufacture back in the day, changed the design or layout of the part. Especially back in the 80's for genuine spare parts compared to what was fitted to the car originally. I think myself that this horn button is a great example! I have brought may NOS parts in the past only to find out that they are 80's or 90's made not 70's made so different in design, shape etc.

So. Where does this leave a concourse resto. Is the NOS part that was made in the 80's or 90's still classed as correct? Oh this opens a huge conversation/bitchfight! Lets not have it haha!!!
