What ? ? ? ?

I sent the seller an email telling him it was a fake Let's see what happens

Weird.  He does acknowledge the the MADE IN JAPAN is missing.  Why would someone make a fake one and eliminate that?  I see it didn't sell because it is "no longer available".  Maybe he pulled it after he got your email KP.

Why would someone/anyone go to the trouble of making a fake alternator cover ?  Seems more trouble than it wold be worth.  I could understand if it were a think lip.  But this cover is the last type with the double thick lip...  Doesn't make sense to me.  But, then, alot of things don't make sense to me.

I thought these were 'pattern' replacement covers back in the day (like pattern handlebar switches that pop up from time to time).  I have seen several on ebay without the made in japan casting.  I dont think they are modern reproductions.  or is this somehow different to the pattern ones I have seen?

The guy might have thought he had hit the jackpot as it is different to the genuine part.  I think the reason he pulled it might be because he made the realisation that it isnt of honda origin after KPs email, or he would have aggresively defended his point

Or someone offered him a small fortune to buy it now thinking it was as described

Steven.
