Send the agreed drawing revision and delivered identifiers together, then ask for a marked comparison of the interface dimensions and any effect on your tool position
9 pointsThey confirmed drawing C before purchase; the delivered bracket is marked E, and its shoulder sits farther forward in the external comparison, though I have not treated a photograph as a dimensional measurement.
3 pointsGood, ask for the E drawing against C; even a matching bolt pattern would leave the shoulder position unanswered
3 pointsThe seller has supplied E, but no comparison; I've passed both drawings to our tooling designer and asked the seller why E was substituted.
17 pointsGet the delivered identifiers into the equipment folder once this is settled, because my tidy tray notes became confusing the minute a physically different spare turned up under the same description.
12 pointsI would ask them to price supplying C as well. You might decide E is usable, but all the review time for their substitution should not become your default project plan.
19 pointsThomas, has the designer established whether the forward shoulder moves your grip position or only changes the bracket outline?
9 pointsDavid's alternative is worth having; an equivalence discussion can otherwise keep going simply because nobody has asked how hard it would be to deliver what was agreed.
6 pointsDid either answer come back, Thomas? Interested in whether your designer can use E or you're still waiting for the seller to offer C.
