wow,
why did i read all 8 pages?.............. just trying to hear all points.
ahhhhhhh yes. the price we pay for aftermarket parts/performance.
like many others here, building jet skis isnt all we do. (guessing??)
in Regards to the poor fitting chin pad
almost every "aftermarket" component will require additional fitting/adjustment. (like you know) In my line of work i have spent a bunch of $$$ with many name brand and aftermarket suppliers and vary rarely will the "part" fit right the first time. mostly, automotive, jetskis, motorcycles, snomobiles and 4 wheelers.
im sure others feel the same way.
