It'd be kind of funny if that did turn out to be the issue but you never know.

This is why I'm extremely paranoid about who works on my cars these days. Even the best shops mess up sometimes. Not that I'm jumping to conclusions here, just using 'this' as a vague example.

With so many new aftermarket parts they're always having to figure stuff out so it's quite easy to see how tiny stuff can get missed.

Really do appreciate informative threads like this one for that reason - spotting possible issues & knowing what to look out for.

Thanks to both the OP and RCE for their posts - I'm sure they'll get it worked out.

Mine'll be going on next weekend or so.

Edit - I'd be happy to open my box from RCE and take a shot of the contents if someone wouldn't mind pointing out which bits go where. Maybe obvious, but it might help some folks out.
