... it may be "late" but I'd sure ask and let the vendor know their supplier was/is making crap. I had the same problem with NEW push buttons and NEW handles on my 52. Don't it tick you off to know that even their own new parts don't fit together. I feel your pain and I'm sure many others do.
I let vendors know when they do something good.... I let them know when I get crap. FEEDBACK doesn't always work but in the long run maybe it will help someone else...even if just a little bit.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
