Who will know the answer? It is for a Big Twin OHV.

It looks like the swiveling part on a 36EL shift lever. Did I win anything? -
You win the admiration of all those who didn't know what it was. ;-)Originally posted by harleytoprock View PostBe sure to visit;

No, it wouldn't. If you reproduce a part for a 1916 Ford it is still a part for a 1916 Ford, not a 2013.Originally posted by Chuck#1848 View PostBe sure to visit;

I agree with Chris' comment, and I think it is a good topic for debate. You can make the arguement that a perfectly reproduced part was not manufactured in 1916 but if it is identical in content, and appearance, with all the machine marks, and qualities of the original; what's the difference? Of course there is the intangible romantic value in a part that you know (without a doubt) came from Milwaukee, Chicago, or Springfield; but is the original a good part? People that rebuild old bikes, and even original paint bikes use reproduction parts in the engine, and transmission. Those parts don't show so nobody seems to care. Is that different than a perfect reproduction part that does show?Originally posted by Chris Haynes View PostEric Smith

I agree with both Chris and Eric, Eric is also correct that it is a good topic for discussion. Even the OEM's made parts that were improved for quality or safety, so would one be incorrect using the improved part? Not all reproduction parts are of equal quality. The control of raw materials parts are made of in some countries is totally hit or miss. I can speak of 45 transmission gears, imported, looked right but size and heat treatment was all over the place. Colony for one makes some of the highest quality replacement parts, Tom Fabers handlebars are new but correct for the different years. People like Chris and many others have spent many years becoming knowledgeable in both the look and function of parts. In my view, any Craftsman that can produce a new correct replacement part should be able to use or sell such an item identified by the year of fitment.

I repeat--since January 1 2008 it is illegal to sell a vehicle with a reproduction frame and original title
these are not OEM and not dated as year of original
A reproduction part is not an original to year of the original part in my opinion-especially if it can cause an accident if it fails
Furthermore you cannot sell a vehicle with said part and claim it is all original without lying
EVERYONE can have an opinionComment

Even when the title goes to the motor and not the frame? Is this US law or IA state law? In my mind there is a big difference between morality and what our gov't states, but then again I'm not behind bars stating my opinion. BobOriginally posted by duffeycycles View PostBob Rice #6738Comment

Yes even when title goes with motor and not frame numbers FEDERAL LAW
I am the messingerComment

It was law because of street rodders in SOCAL claiming '32 Fords with no original part exept body tag
Also Sucker Punch Sally claming non manufacturer because they used OEM motors and frame necks with
Original titles .Try calling Sucker punch-they are out of buisinessComment
