    i sell rares products and when i am asked about these i warn people away from the full ones and back to the short ones and then still warn them that they are a crap fit...needless to say i dont sell many...

    and to add to this..its not rocket science to cut a peice of metal and make a bit of a swage line in it and patch it in...the true art of panelbeating is being lost by a lazy society..

    i dont think its much better to tell you the truth...ive got a new old stock complete hq one in the roof at home and they are like chalk and cheese..its mainly the pressing into and under the screen and next to the door which is the problem...the flat bits are really good...
