Was out putting a new starter relay into my Ranger. Just about done and was just snugging up the 2 bolts that hold the battery in and batter out cables. Snugged it just a tad bit to much and broke the damned thing....... It started right up anyway but I will have to get to town and get another 1.

don't ya just hate that... you think, just a tad more.... s*it.... been there, done that....
Got to looking at it and what a piece of crap. Made in China. The stud insert just went to the plastic with 0 support around it. No way it wouldn't crack open if more then finger tight. Will go to town tomorrow and pick up a better quality part. Will cost me more but it will at least last thru the installation.

No offence to individual Chinese people but I wonder why China insists on turning out such rubbish. They would still be cheaper than most things the west makes even if they spent an extra 50% on quality improvement. Trouble is, in Australia almost every consumer product is Chinese. Now they are starting to export cars to Aust. Think I,ll pass on them.
If people keep buying crap... people will produce and sell crap. Sad but true :(
I think that's 50/50. 50% is some imitation/copy crap. 50% is someone's crapy specification.
the Chinese will build/produce anything you want.... they are more than capable of producing quality parts/products, unfortunately since everyone wants cheap folks outsource to china because cheap is easy to get.....
Either way you get 100% crap.

check carefully, sometimes you will pay more for a better "quality" (touted as such) part, and it may be just as big of a piece of s*it as the cheap one...
Yep, I will be inspecting in before I pay for it. A 10 minute job sure turned into a pain in the butt.
