Honda/NTK O2 sensor (redux)

[Barry Tisdale]

I don't know the corporate politics involved here, but -

The box says "Bosch", pasted over one end is a black sticker that says: P/N
13246, F00E260603, Made in Japan, Package Made in USA, (Copyright symbol)
2000, Robert Bosch Corp., Broadview, IL 60155-4594

The sensor inside says (stamped in metal): "L1H1" "NTK" "Japan"
Appearamce is correct WRT wires, colors, plug, cal resistor, etc.  Function
is same as "genuine" NTK part purchased year or so back from Honda - just
ran 'em both on the bench.

It's the genuine deal......
