I'd like to thank all who posted; especially Goldmember for offering to clean it. I'd take ya' up on that if I were close by, and I'd mail Brandon an invoice for your time.

Since it's been two days since I emailed The Source, I've decided I'll just dispute the charge on my credit card. What they sent is NOT useable; I don't have the ability to repair it myself (not that it should be on me to have to do so), and it's holding this project up.

Mancini, or someone else who sponsors here, will get to sell me a pickup, I suppose. This is silly.

I think I'll start a thread in the general section with a copy of my email to 440 Source detailing what was wrong with this part, and also relate my experiences with the other two orders I've placed with Brandon's company (yes, there were problems both other times).

But, this is a Q&A forum, and I'm getting off topic here.

Thanks again to all who took time to try and shine some light!
