UGH (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

So I just ordered an Air Box Seal from AA and it appears to be way too small.

The seal I got from them is only 3 1/2 " deep. Width seems OK, but my air box is like 4 1/2 " deep or an inch larger than the gasket is.

Before I have a fit and call them, I thought it worth asking if I'm missing how this gasket fits?

Thanks,

Len

If you are referring to me - yes really.

I gave them several chances and they failed each time to get me the right parts.

I didn't care for the condescending attitude I got on the phone either.

The only order they got 100% right the first time was for Porsche crest decals for my wheel centers.

Any vendor can make a mistake, but I have never had a problem with any of the vendors on this site or Pelican.

I have two old boats and an old motorcycle and I haven't had any problems getting the right parts for them either.

YMMV if you are happy with them by all means keep ordering....

It sounds to me like you had a nice long night of drinking, and you got laid.
You just seem too mellow and quiet in your response.

Tell us how it really went. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
