I've taken this to heart, and purchased my parts from Brothers, and have been very pleased

Kinda find this funny that you have never bought from LMC but are going to bad mouth them.
There is a lot of parts on my 69 from LMC and everyone works and has fit fine. Oh yeah my mirrors has zero rust on them and have been on since last june.

Everybody screws up

Yes, everybody screws up. Yes, the bolts to my mirrors rusted, but they made it right. Everything else I've ordered has been great, so that's only one thing out of all those orders that I've had a problem with.

I'd like to think I can take the advice of forum members I've met on here and in person regarding LMC, without having to waste my time and money to come to the same conclusion myself.

Sounds like they are working out good for you. Great. Didn't mean to hit a nerve...

Unfortunately I too understand your pain. While trying to rebuild a front end out of a 85 to put under my 67 I stripped the threads off the studs holding the upper A-arm on. Went to several parts stores who said they were unable to get it. Rather than spending the time taking the same chance at a junk yard I ordered new from LMC with a few other parts I needed. When the new one arrived it was too big and would not fit without grinding off the splines. I too called and spoke with the nice lady and together we went over the dimensions of the bolt. What was sent is what I had and what she showed to fit. However it wouldn't. I know that no one is perfect because I am reminded by my own doings often but the part that bothered me the most was how they did not act concerned the least bit to investigate to make it right for anyone else who orders this. Makes me want to second guess what else I order.
