For a vehicle that has been around for 90 years, is it really too much to expect that a part ordered from one of the several suppliers will be received as advertised. Unless customers complain about parts that do not fit and/or poor service, nothing will ever improve.
Sorry, my fellow Tennessean, but I must disagree with you on this one.

He is right about being cheap, call a vendor that has good, better, and best and ask them which they sell the most of, they will tell you good (which most times aint that good).
I do agree with you that if a vendor advertises a part as being made to factory drawings it really should be made to factory drawings. We should not have to spell out exactly the dimensions of parts, referring to, and possibly even including copies of factory drawings to a vender that has been in business for many years.
With that said, who would know better then a person that restores cars, and mostly A and T's, that the vendors of the parts are lying, no let me change that to wrong, about what they provide.
