I prefer NOS for anything electrical or steel. We have lots of failures with repro electrical parts, none with NOS electrical and steel parts. No such thing as quality control it seems. Unlike repro stuff, OEM parts didn’t go into the box as junk. I have a local old school rebuilder do all of my starters and alternators, even though I can buy “new” for less.
I have lots of old stock rubber items I plan to use, not worried about them yet.
