So today I had planned on picking up the painted gullwings ready to fit them up over the weekend. The catches and seal strip arrived while I was away so all looked good for a busy weekend. Just about to go out the door to the paint shop when I thought…best give a quick ring.
Good job I did as they're not done as they inexplicably thought I would be picking them up on the 18th. They'll be done on Monday.
So I take a look at the catches I've had delivered. All fine except the locking arm is the longer type for thicker panels. Turns out the suppliers to the company I purchased them from changed the spec long ago and never changed their info.
You just couldn't make it up.
So, if you guys don't mind an extra 20mm on the back of the catches, I can make them work just as well. If it's unacceptable, well I guess I'll just have to start searching again.
To say I'm at my wits end is an understatement.
