Why don't you call Moss or Victoria British and see if they will go get
one from stock and measure it for you and then let us know before you
bad mouth TRF. Better yet, just order the part and if it's not the right
one return it. Or buy something from the TRF, then complain about them.
Some people just can't take NO for an answer and blame someone else!
