Vic,
Sorry to hear about your misery. I guess it would be wise for all of us to
check whenever we purchase something used. I remember buying something on
Ebay for the Roadster and did not receive all the necessary pieces and it
was useless as it was. I had to go out and buy another one at my parts
store. It was a clip for a ujoint. Fortunately I only paid $12 for 4 ujoints
so I couldn't complain.
Probably you wouldn't have minded if they told you at the get go that there
were no gaskets.
Mike
