Aftermarket spares only look nice till they are put next to original ones. The images speak for themselves. The swashplate you see here is from a working pump, however the small imperfections immediately reveal its "oriental" origin. The casting is porous, there are small machning faults, the part looks unfinished. It does work, but it will most likely last half as much as the original swashplate.
