I got a repop core support from Rick's 1st Gen and it was a complete piece of crap. And to top it off, Rick's just jerked Kurt and I around blaming everything else but their piece of crap product. Before they would even consider exchanging it for another one, they wanted Kurt to take all these measurements on the car... fenders, doors, support, frame. It was just a big game to get me off the phone as they didn't even want to hear what I was saying. Time is money and there was no way I was going to have Kurt do that (Autokraft is 2 hours away so I couldn't drive there and di it myself), so I took my lumps, racked it up to being played by Rick's 1st Gen, and was fortunate that I had Jim Hall (Ummgawa) to come to the rescue with a nice used one.
Cliff's notes: Rick's 1st Gen sucks balls and I'm no longer a customer. I threw my Rick's catalog in the garbage, right next to where Rick's put their customer service.
As for the problem Kurt had, the distance from the bushing flange to the top of the core support was too great and caused major issues with the fender to door alignment.
