What he said.
My father and I have had several problems where we've ordered parts that appear
to have been returned with incorrect substitutes. At one time, one of the brake
slave cyls for 100s was much more expensive than the others; we ordered one of
the (expensive) ones and found that someone had put one of the cheaper ones in
the box and returned it, pocketing the difference. We also bought a set of
coils for a V8 from a reputable online retailer, and found at least one where
someone had put their defective, old coil in the box and returned it,
presumably for a full refund.
In both cases we informed the seller, who shrugged it off, and the parts were
probably re-stocked for the next unsuspecting customer.

You assume that this had to be a County error. We have had many times
that things are boxed wrong from many suppliers. It is always
possible that they were a returned set and the previous purchaser had
ordered the wrong size and then returned them in the wrong box.
We all must realize that if County who is actually part of XRN which
a company in England was not producing the parts they are we would
not be driving our cars.
This problem is not just in our cars. I have done a High Performance
67 Mustang for my son. Some of the parts that i have received for
that car to include electrical and upholstery parts as well as that
rubber parts are total junk. Door panels that can not be removed
because the material is so thin that it cracks as soon as you try to
remove the panel, and material that is cut to short and falls off
with in 1 year of installing. Turn signal switches that are wired
wrong, door seals that fall off. Sound familiar. And there are a
probably more 67 Mustangs on the road today than there are the total
Healey's on the road.
