David, you've posted this under "Club and Forum -- suggestions and comments". This is where people poste ideas about our website or suggestions about our club. I don't think you're going to find many responses to your question here. May I suggest that you re-post to the "Hudson" section, at this forum?

If a part has lasted over 50 years and is now Un-Trustworthy because it is worn out . Why not rebuild it and get another 50 + years of service out of it.
If you buy an item from some HotRod shop to "Update it" that they imported from Mexico. Is it going to last 50 years? Sure it will.......
