so sheet metal i agree 100%, i used to work for keystone and national auto parts and even the CAPA certified has a 20% difference in production..
that could either be thinner metal, mounting holes incorrect, part a little bit too long or short in one corner, it doesnt matter.. they only need to be 80% correct..
also, most taiwan or other manufactures will use old dies, meaning the part wont have sharp corners and such
