Just as an example I recently ordered a headlight switch for my '54 Ranch Wagon from Shoe Box Central. They sent me a Dennis Carpenter switch that was defective. Sent them an email and followed it up with a phone call. They said they would send another switch that day. Point is that even good vendors get bad parts from good suppliers. It's unfortunate but it happens. If the guy at C&G couldn't/wouldn't fix the problem you just have to move up the food chain. I've bought a bunch of parts from C&G and never have had a problem. Given the chance they should make it right. A photo or 2 in an email might help as well. JMO.
