Angry Pelican sent me the wrong freakin parts...

Ok.. so i ordered my exhaust gaskets and studs so i can put my exhaust manifold (and the rest of it) back in my car... I got 8 of these approx 6.5 inch studs!!?!

wtf do i do now? i have to cut them to size or something? i think they look too thick to go in my engine anyway... ugh

i dont know it says cylinder to exhaust manifold. 8mm BUT THEY ARENT EVEN 8mm
I just got 8 mm bolts for the rest of my exhaust sections.. and the 8mm bolts i just got are like 2 sizes smaller than these studs they gave me. they are either 9 or 10mm studs they gave me.

Thanks pelican.. looks like you sent me the wrong damn parts...

Sorry guys i'm just pissed off right now because I'm going on vaca the next week (starting saturday) and i wanted to get my car running before i leave... Hence why i ordered friday.

This might sound funny, but try your local NAPA. I've bought metric studs at our NAPA here, and I don't live in a large city. Quite the contrary, actually!
