I don't stamp units, but maybe some day I will sell to someone who wants to make one of the unobtainable starters themselves. My starter alternator generator repair shop was located 2 buildings away from the company that made some of the stamps sourced for OE stamping. They may still make the stamps, but I'm not sure.

I don't mind if people restamp their own equipment. However, there is a large segment out there that does this and sells the equipment as original. There is the problem. Today it is so hard to tell what is original and what is a fake...
