     Hi John,
     
     I tried but:
     1. They didn't respond to email.
     2. The guy didn't return my call.
     3. I gave up, not realizing the unavailability of these bits.
     
     I did not consider sending the cylinders back; I thought they wouldn't 
     have the parts anymore and who knows when I'd see even the cylinders 
     again. And in my case, the stuff's crossing the border and there's a 
     guy there collecting money every time anything goes by, so the duty 
     and postage would outweigh the cost of the missing parts in about half 
     a trip.
     
     They did a great job on the cylinders; I'd just recommend to anyone 
     that they hang on to everything else. Someone else has responded to me 
     that the same thing happened to them.
     
     And to be fair, when I initially spoke to the guy he did advise me to 
     keep the inside stuff. What happened though, was that just as I was 
     about to send them, I showed them to someone who innocently shoved the 
     innards back in to the cylinders. I wanted to get going on it, and I 
     didn't have a handy way to remove them, so I just sent them. I have 
     now experienced, yet again, the folly of impatience!
     
     Regards,
     Jim Wallace

Jim,
  Saw your post at about the time I was considering sending all three of my
cylinders to White Post.  Not very encouraging.  Did you consider calling 
them or sending the cylincders back for them to make it right?
