Hi Everyone, 4dFord, You asked about the reproduction parts, but I thought I'd chime in to add to the chaos.

I'm a noobie wrenching on these vehicles, but have only used the really old parts, and YES I have had to massage the fitment on each inner cap that I have used.

JM is a good teacher, and I think every dizzy I've been that deep into he's been there to guide the progress! Great mentor.
