Sad part about all this is communication, in my opinion, that could honestly be taken care of at the Manufacturer with some tweaking/adjustment. I know everyone does not fit in this category but I feel its just that the ones in charge do not do their job or they are incompetent. I was almost accused of "vendor bashing" a while back over the inner to outer cowling panel. I sent an email or two back and forth to a fellow and he informed me the "manager" was going to talk to the production plant and get back to me. I even offer to SEND THEM a nice original to examine but as you can guess I never heard from them again either way. So, I do not order any parts from them. What I do order may come from the same manufacturer but I do have a say in who's packet the money goes to. It also irks me to think that someone would package a product and send it out knowing its in the shape some of you have mentioned. Needless to say, I took my old rusted,cruded inner panel to a guy who repaired THREE sides of my old one and it is great. Total charge $30. I spent over $20 on shipping to get, then send back to the vendor, the one that was plain out sorry. It may not help but if we do not let them know if something is good or bad things are not going to change. Cooter50, try the "catch more flies with Honey than vinegar" approach and if not satisfaction then tell them what you think. Give them a chance first.
