Should they know this...well yes they should. Call them.
Not so much vinegar, but a lot of disappointment here. Worked our *** off on the car all winter to have this happen the first pass. Yeah, they will get a call for sure. This is a time killer more than labor involved for us. Don't you agree tho that as long as Moser has been in the game they would have some inkling of this problem? My partner ordered this housing directly from them on the phone and they knew full well the intended application.

For the prior post - The Calvert blocks have their own locating dowels which mesh with succeeding stacks. This was not an issue here as nothing slipped...the flimbsy perches merely collapsed.

When I call Moser I will ask if they will repair the housing and replace the perches with Calvert's which I will provide since they obviously don't have a suitable replacement. I'm off to the shop shortly to strip the housing out of the car.
