Thread missing? 8-3/4 housing end as welded for shortened housing...

I get the OP asking to have the post removed but what does the vender not being on the FABO list have to do with it? I don't even recall the vender being named?(But I might have missed that)
The vendor was named and apparently the OP didn't want to drag their name through the mud. If you play nice the vendor might correct the mistake. You play hardball and they might tell you to go pound sand. It was the OP's choice.
