I wonder what the cause is, as banjo bolts and brake lines are as old as the hills..

Blame the lawyers and spammers for the letters, a photocopy of something you claimed to post is still worth more than a copy of an e-mail even with a read receipt.
Banjo bolts are as old as the hills but the guys in China and India busy casting them with a camping stove while the tides out have about as much knowledge as you can aquire between recieving the order and hitting the sand pit. What good companies are doing is keeping stock against quality issues from suppliers 12 weeks away by sea but the accountants don't like it. For the next few years we are going to see this issue move up the technology chain from the nuts and bolts level into more complex items.
