tecumseh,
when we did the HEART job there were great fears of counterfeit parts ending up in the C130K. It was thought that with the loss of so many original manufacturers for the a/c this was a real possibility. However my engineering counterparts on the team did not find any evidence of such parts. But as the archeologists say 'Absence of evidence in not evidence of absence.'.
