Great- just ordered it up. Thanks!

I ordered a few different styles. I found that one to be too wide for such thin sheet metal. It's 1/4" wide inside and the bed is probably close to 1/32. With some silicone you could probably make it work though. I personally liked the thinner stuff.

Not the product that I got, fits snuggly over sheet metal alone and has to be forced over sheet metal that has been linexd, same product RPG was using. The inside portion has what is almost like rubber barbs that grab onto the surface of what you're putting it on.

They could have sent one of use the wrong product. It had the little barbs but it was just too wide. This is what I received for the same part # you ordered. Wide inside and squared off edges. Did yours look the same? The line x could have made the difference too.

Interested to see what you guys receive. I might have been shipped the wrong product. I ordered part # 8451A13 which is style #7. I reordered it but got part number 8451A12 instead which is half the width. It's style #4

I got mine very quick, it appears to be the same as you got the first go around. It seems way too big to work without a bunch of silicone or something like you had mentioned. I'll wait until you post back about your second order before trying again. Suppose I could also get off my lazy ass and go measure it with my calipers

My new stuff (8451A12) came in today. It looks a lot better. I'm gonna try it tonight. The only smaller one is the 8451A11. It's 1/64 -3/64 inside width.

Here is a pic of the one I got today next to my original order.

So your new order, the smaller stuff, is style 4?
