Thread: Cheaper alternatives to the radiator cowl quarter turn fasteners

also parts numbers..
ANR6461 - for the screw
PYF100830 - for the plastic washer that goes under the screw to keep it on the top part of the cowling.

Nice price for a tiny piece of steel ... a 20 pcs set of them is below 1 dollar from China and does the same thing, 80% of anything is made in China these days anyway, the difference is that we pay the profit of capitalist stores who are importing and selling chinese parts at 10-20 x the price as "OEM quality"

don't see why these wouldnt work. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3284...xx__1683335049

Yes those nasty capitlist stores that rip us off. Nasty capitalism that gives us the opportunity to buy different goods from different stores at different prices. I have to admit that socialism ismso so much better. Look at all those successful socialist countries. Oh, there aren't any. People flee from socialism to captilaism. The Berlin wall was to keep people in.

The world CANNOT survive capitalism.
Human greed will kill the planet and Mankind.

Interestingly, capitalism raises people out of poverty at a greater rate that any of the alternatives. The alternatrives kill at a greater rate, for example Stalin in Russia, killed mpre Russians than Hitler and Moa in China killed more than the Japanese. Those isms are responsible for the deaths of over 100 million in the 20th century alone.
In any case, human greed is not limited to the capitalists.

IMO it's not the place for political debates but you completely misunderstood what i meant when i said "capitalist stores", i didnt mean to mix capitalism with the political regime. Your statements are about democracy and totalitarianism which have to do with human rights and freedom not with capitalism which is about the economy and the free market controlled by privates for profit without government involvment. It's capitalism down under but the government locked people in a kind of concentration camps there in the name of a "flu" IIRC. I rest my case on this subject.

I suggest we keep the conversation to Discovery 2.
Should you want to continue with this subject, Current Affairs is the correct area.
Thanks, fellows.
