Hello all,
I haven't replaced my inner cowl panel yet, but I would expect the replacement part to have the correct size holes and be as close as possible to the original as possible.
We depend on our supplers to deliver accurate replacement part. Everybodys idea of close is open for discussion, but incorrect hole size is something that shouldn't happen. I haven't seen the part, but if it is noticably larger then it needs to be addressed.
I remember a discussion thread earlier that was talking about metric threads on a replacement gas tank. What gives with that, Chevy Duty should either inform their customers of the thread change or have their supplier correct the problem.
The only way our suppliers know there are issue are if we inform them.
Yes we are drive trucks that are 50 years old, but that doesn't mean we need to settle for part that aren't correct. Sure allowances need to be made, but we also need to help are supplies identify areas for potential improvements.
Just my two cents.
