Default Anyone bought TSP headers w/ these flanges?

FWIW, I just got these wed. and opened them this morning, so I have not talked to anyone yet.

Wondering if anyone who has purchased these 1 7/8 TSP headers had the same issues?

Just to clarify the primaries dont line up with the flange. Dont mind the picture phone pics, my SLR is in the shop....not.

I guess to meet their price point they had to cut some corners. They really should send you a new set that is built right.

Talked to TSP this morning, and they have had a bunch out of the batch that look like this. They are in the process of making a new batch. I knew they were going to make right, now it will only be a few weeks.

BTW they dont recommend grinding them, you grind 'em you own'em

Wow, I'm glad I heard about this before we tried to install mine. I ordered mine with the TSP ORY through RPM of Garner, NC on 2/12/10 and just picked them up 2 weeks ago. I'm gonna call TSP in the morning. Here's pics of mine still in the plastic and the shipping label in case TSP wants to see it. I just want a refund so I can buy some Pacesetters. I'm NOT bashing TSP but after waiting over a month for them and now I can't even install them this week as planned I just want some coated Pacesetters.
