Question MBA HVAC/Headlight *****...(NOS) ?

When I went to install my MBA billet HVAC & HL ***** which are supposed to be NOS (new old stock) I noticed each one had a different fit, IE the inner hole that went onto the shaft was a different id on each one by just a slight variance, I also noticed that unlike all of my other MBA billet items, these parts did not have the MBA p/n scribed anywhere on the part. I did not think anything about this until I happened to look at the return label on the box they came in which just so happens to be a machine shop type business in the same general area of the country as MBA was located, makes you wonder?

Are they two piece or just one? My MBA ***** (I know are "real") are two piece...a base that slides onto the post and then the **** that slides on and pins to the base.

I dont remember, but I do know some fit better tighter on the posts than others. I used silicone tape (like you use on air compressor fittings) to secure the looser fitting ones.
