Look for packaging labeled "Made in Italy". Seems Richmond moved their operations to Italy and the workers are having problems converting from their metric system. My guess is this is going to be expensive for Richmond as the problem surely extends further than just the 12-bolt versions.

A few years ago I ran into the same problem with Richmond Pro gears, their gear cutting machine was setup wrong and I could not get the gear pattern anywhere right but
ran them one time. Called Richmond and talked with their engineer and he would send another set to Jeg's. Their pattern was dead on where it was supposed to be and are still running good some years later, I have the equipment and always do my own Ring and Pinion gears setup. Sorry to hear Richmond went offshore. BUMMER
