<< Well just when I was feeling mellow, and writing nice things about the
 folks in Goleta, they struck again.  I ordered and received, motor
 mount bolts and lower sleeve nuts for my TC.  Had been waiting for the
 actual rubber mounts from somewhere else, Goleta being out of stock.
 Mounts arrived, me excited, off to garage.  Mounted the rubber blocks
 to the frame, passed the upper bolt thru, got on the floor and tried
 to thread the lower sleeve to the bolt.  Never hatchi GI!  Either they
 have different threads or the threads in the sleeve are so bad they
 wont go.  Both sets the same.  So here I am, weeks have gone by and
 Ive a handful of high priced junk and am no closer to a solution than
 I was last month.  I take back all the reasonable things I said about
 them.  May the fleas of a thousand camels infest them and their
 offspring.
      Kelvin would it be too much to imagine that someone would try to
 see if the two pieces actually do thread together before
 cataloging/selling them?  Bad day in Florida.  Larry

NOW I AM "JUMPING ON MY OWN BAND WAGON", Larry!!

A]  Had you ordered from me (or any other "local sorta shop") you would have 
been called and avised that there "could" be a prob OR there "was" a prob.

B]  You "do" have correct bolts??  
           Whitworth??  
      AND correct wrenches??  sockets??
      AND you are POSITATIVE that a DPO has not replaced with something 
"close"??

C]  You "did" order NEW bolts, etc.??  

D]  The "discounter" you ordered from "actually" saw the parts, 
                 "knew" what they were for, 
                 "knew" where they went, 
                  "knew" what they were 'supposed' to do, 
AND packaged them up for shipment himself??

Yeah, RIGHT!!
