What ? ? ? ?
-
I sent the seller an email telling him it was a fake Let's see what happens :o

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.
