Weld in GTS flutes for WB

[ozbox]

How's the quality of the Thai ones? These are the ones claiming factory issue.

i dont read that as factory issue..it says original not weld in?...can be original aftermarket..

i would go near anything tiawanese panels with a ten foot pole, id change the front to hz and put proper gts guards before id buy tiawanese guards for it

i hate to blow your bubble myles BUT...when i worked for spare parts in a large holden dealer in 1980 we use to have to remove the panels and parts from the gmh boxes and remove the little gold made in thailand sticker...there was 2 types of hj hx hz gts gaurds floating around then...the dead set aftermarket rubbish one had its stamping in the rain gutter section towards the front of the gaurd and the genuine gmh made in thailand one was stamped on the flat section under the bonnet hinge....even though these were made in thailand they were a very good quality and fit....do youself some research and you will find that GMH had its own manufacturing plants in thailand....its extremely hard to lump all aftermarket parts in to the same quality...some are absolute shit and some are better than original...it really depends on the person or company contracting the manufacturer to produce the parts....good example would be some of rare spares parts...some are absolute shit because they dont know what any sort of quality is and they want to make money as quick as possible...other parts are very good repros...its more the latter these days but thats coz they cop so much shit from the buying public i would think.

ive got a passenger guard with tiawan stamped in the middle of the guard or the rain gutter, there soo much lighter steel, if i find a tiawanese stamp i wont use it, the tailgates are easy to tell just a tap and you can tell the difference, ive got one here thats good skin but bent like a bananna, your right about the rares stuff, i was thinking about buying a new dash fascia becasue i can get mine perfect, but theyve got 2 dirty big dints near the clock, if i owned rares i wouldnt even sell them
