Re: What are "Counterpart" parts?

Coursey, as far as the three spoke steering wheels go, I own three original G.M. comfort grip steering wheels and every time I see a "reproduction" one to me it's easy to see the difference. The outside diameter is larger, the grain pattern on the rim is not the same, the spokes are close to original. I also own a 1970 El Camino with factory tack and gauges, and I can tell the difference in "reproduction" dash housings every time. This is just my opinion on that subject. This is a good tread on "reproduction" parts. I have bought good and bad. Mike.
