That's not good! I'm sure that Mark @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=3348 will make it good. Odd, you'd expect the first one to be the dud. Not the second run. confused24.gif

And that's why smart 914 owners buy from 914Rubber. Even when they get it wrong they make it right in the end.
