Wow, that sounds pretty bad, I bet you were scratching your head when you saw all of that. I dont know what to say, maybe others will chime in and hopefully there is another vendor that is made to tolerance, pretty sure it is all off shore products. I have to say for my 53 resto, some of the off shore products were just really bad and not usable. Good luck.
