one of my pet pieves on our reproduction Stude pieces. I had talked to a
friend of mine about this & showed him my Hawk & how the
original lens was cracked but clear as day while the repo was all
yellowed & hardly shows the light. (his business is making &
producing injected plastic parts) He said that just changing the
material used would correct that. I know so many of us a caso's, but
why skimp on the basics like this? Same goes for the screws that retain
the ball socket on my Champ mirrors. They rusted in weeks looking so
ugly. Why not spend a few cents more when they are made & use
stainless screws so they look right for years to come. I hope those
that are making these & all our parts dont take this as a bashing,
but as constructive.
