    Probably because at the time Mace wasn't aware of the problem. On the website now it has 2 different listings for VS - VT then VY - VX

    I don't like that Youtube clip. It's not a good way to fit the manifold spacer. He also uses WAY to much sealant.

    We've had both designs for the past 4 years.

    We had two different styles on our site, with part number since we were online about 4 years ago.

    If they've purchased the item outside our site then we ALWAYS ask which vehicle it's for.

    In this instance it may very well have been mispacked, I don't know. It's something we're DEFINITELY improving on at the moment. Not that it's bad, just want to make it better

    At the end of the day though, if someone has a problem with our product or service we're always a phone call or email away. Sadly no one here is a mind reader

    Don't know. All I know is that I'm not a mind reader and that I can only help people if they directly let us know
