So, no excuse at all for letting a sub-standard one through. I wonder, too if the old mounts might be recycled? Heck they could return them to the owners as proof of fitting the new part, for that matter. Hard to believe that they would simply bin all of the existing mounts.

I would send it back and demand they do it again.
