No we make them in an actual factory, with real machines and stuff! ...and when i say "we" I mean a bunch of guys in lab coats who make rubber products for the aerospace industry, so yeah, they actually know what they are doing. We stand behind our products, and we are doing this for us, and for you guys, and for the love of these cars! We are all car enthusiasts, and would rather see all these classics stay on the road, high and dry! Get them from Black Diamond, get them from us, it's your choice, but get them where you can! Keeping these cars rolling for years to come is more important than who you get them from.
