I've seen the listing on those and other 'clone' import parts and I always wonder if the threads are quality or what I'm used to seeing on 'clone' imported music instruments.

I've made it a practice to NOT buy any threaded parts unless I KNOW what the thread dimensions are and whether they are cut properly.

USUALLY? .. even with the correct major and minor dimensions? From my experience the threads are just one notch above the ones made in India!
