Don't mean to hijack the thread but you asked. An Andreas Grosser U47 Big Badge. The only Flea Part on it is the Head Basket. Everything else was made in Berlin, Germany pretty much. The body is made of Brass just like the originals were made out of back in the early days of the big badge U47s. But everyone and their cloning brothers use Flea body parts in the past and currently. And some cloners will not tell you they are using Flea Parts when you ask. Why the hell not? Is my question? What is there to hide? The parts are used by everyone who makes a decent looking U47 clone. As far as I know, they were the only company that recreated the parts. But that is changing day by day. Like I said, this Flea Head Piece isn't that bad. It just bothers my analistic conscience. Even Andreas said it was a decent made head grill. But I can tell its not the same!
If a more authentic head basket becomes available. I am replacing this one piece. Supposedly I will have my head basket done and made in the next 2-3 months in Germany. I asked Andreas to fix this matter. So Andreas is now using a new source who can replicate it 100%.
I know some of you my say wtf is up with this guy? If you like to know. Go to a local Audi or Mercedes dealer. As the best salesman on the floor there to tell you why an German made car is so much better in quality than any American made car. He should give you a nice presentation why that is so, ( if he or she feels you are a serious possible buyer of an Audi). If its a knowledgeable presentation. You should understand my point on the head basket.
As a hint...it all about attention to finest detail.
