You're hard of noticing then.
You would have called and asked them first... before what? I haven't installed them.
The hexes show varying degrees of damage, from none to serious; one has damage that left a very sharp displacement. My poor skills at macro photography nothwithstanding, that should be plainly visible in the photos.
There are signs that wires were attached, and one has what looks like displaced metal where the wire arced to the tip.
Additionally, all of them show chipping in the plating where they were torqued into the engine, again, plainly visible in the photos.
I contacted HPG by email Friday and the reply was
"Hi there. let me check the bins and see what GEP is sending us..hte last order was new ones." That was the last I heard. I don't really know what that means either, does that mean they sell used GPs as a matter of routine? I figure I won't hear back until next week.
