Funny thing is, the gasket was the only part out of several that I didn't give them the part number for: everything else I'd spent time looking up on eper and noting part numbers. They got really stroppy about me having a copy of eper too..............and then I pointed out that I'd saved them time looking for numbers and would accept any mistakes that I'd made with the numbers. Thankfully they will swap it FOC for the correct one as it wasn't my fault this time.
