[T3] STUMPED!!???

[Keith Park]

I never cease to be disappointed by the quality of things these days,
BTW, if you want anything BRASS, As of December 1st it will be ILLEGAL to
sell in NY, probably some other states to... so time to hoard!

Some Brass will be back but it's the lead in it that's the culprit and from
what Im told, only 2 foundry's can make Brass without using lead, so kiss
MOST of those faucet cartridges or anything "specialty" goodbye.

My impression is that Bosch still makes all their parts. While they 
may be made in many parts of the world, they are still made in Bosch 
factories to Bosch standards. It's certainly possible, however, that 
some of those standards have slipped over time. The Bosch Blue Coils 
are a good example of that.
