Just heard a hangar rumor about counterfeit connector pins
I was grabbing parts in Tulsa last Tuesday and overheard a supply guy mention a batch of fake gold pins moving through two distributors. If those corrode or lose contact mid-flight, that's a nightmare we can't troubleshoot on the ramp. Has anyone else seen suspicious hardware lately, and what did you do to verify it before install?

Did you hear about that batch of fake bolts that showed up in Wichita a few years back? Whole thing started with one guy noticing the head stamp looked off and it turned out they were coming in through a legit looking supplier. Makes you wonder how much stuff slips through that nobody catches until something goes wrong.
