Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting. 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.  The results of operations for
the period ended September 30, 1995 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1995.







ITEM 2:    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Net sales increased 14.3% , or  $37,281,000, from the first nine
months of 1994.  Net sales in the third quarter of 1995 remained
approximately the same from the third quarter of 1994.  The
increased sales for the nine months was primarily attributable to
the impact of the new product programs put into production during
the past 18 months.  North American production of automobiles and
light trucks decreased 6% from last year during the third quarter
and decreased 2% during the nine month period.  However, volume
increased significantly in the heavy duty business, primarily
with Caterpillar and Consolidated Diesel.

Cost of products sold, as a percent of sales, for the first nine
months of 1995, compared to the same period of 1994, remained
approximately the same at 89.6% compared to 89.4%.  Cost of
products sold, as a percent of sales, compared to the third
quarter of the prior year, increased from  91.4% to 92.3% due to
higher metal market costs than last year and a shift in product
mix.

Administrative and selling costs as a percent of sales increased
for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 1995
compared to the same periods of 1995 due to additional funds
being expended for selling and research and development to help
in supporting the current and future growth of the Company. 
Interest expense increased from 1994 as a result of increased
long-term debt.

In January 1995, the Company entered into bank term loan
agreements for $20,000,000 and $4,050,000.  The Company borrowed
$20,000,000 at an interest rate of 8.45%, payable quarterly, with
repayment of principal due in twenty quarterly installments
commencing July 2000.  Additionally, the Company's Mexican
subsidiary borrowed $4,050,000 at an interest rate of 8.82%,
payable monthly, with repayment of principal due in eighty-four
equal monthly installments commencing in February 1996.  For the
nine month period ending September 30, 1995, payments of long-term
borrowings totaled $12,250,000, resulting in net proceeds
from long-term borrowings of $11,800,000.

The Company invests in equipment and facilities to produce
components for automotive, truck and engine programs.  Cash flows
from operations and net proceeds from long-term borrowing,
discussed above, exceeded these investments and dividends paid,
resulting in a $5,838,000 increase in cash and cash equivalents
for the nine month period ending September 30, 1995.  With a
quick ratio of  1.6 to 1 and a total debt-to-invested capital
ratio of 38% , the Company's financial condition remains strong.
