The issue has only surfaced to this degree because the original manufacturer's name was put on the copies. If their name had not appeared there this issue would just be a couple guys complaining about a knockoff with nothing being done about it. Even the manufacturer likely wouldn't have done anything about it other than to verbally complain to anyone who would listen. Let's face it, there is a market for this stuff or a) people wouldn't make it and b) people wouldn't buy it. But Summit, Jegs, etc ALL carry and sell loads of it and are very well aware of it being knockoffs and the origin. But you don't hear them saying they're pulling ALL that [censored] off their shelves now do you? Only the stuff from Speedmaster - and ONLY because they made the mistake of putting Broader's name on the junk.

AND I firmly believe that a good number of the so-called "knockoffs" come off the exact same line as the name brand products - all of which are made in China.
Here are a some examples you can see for yourself: Log into Amazon and look at:
fuel pressure regulators - identical copies of Aeromotive units
brake proportioning valves - identical copies of Wilwood units
line loc units - identical to Hurst units including the switch!
fuel filters - also identical to Aeromotive units
and the list goes on !!
