Hi Daryl,
Mini-mania has a wrong one also, It wasn't so severe, but wrong. The
cork end caps were totally wrong, not even close. I went to Mike at
British car spec. in Stockton and he had the right ones. The pan gasket
was only slightly off, I had to trim about 1/4". Everything else had
lined up very well.
