Our delivered pads have a relief absent from the agreed housing trial, and the sample sits farther back between the fingers. Seller says equivalent. I've kept installation paused while our toolmaker compares it.

Keep the original trial as evidence for that original assembly, then ask for the changed sample position and receiving-pocket access to be assessed together. A relief clearing the rib can still alter where the rest of the housing goes.

Toolmaker says exactly that, contact clears the rib but the housing shoulder moves towards the pocket wall. We're asking the seller for the complete supplied assembly drawing.

Will the same pickup and placement instructions apply if the changed pads are accepted? The eventual operator needs to know more than new spare reference, especially if the held housing position changes.

Not assumed, David. Program and setup implications are in the review. Original pads remain an option we've asked the seller to price and confirm availability for.

Price that original route against what was actually agreed, Callum. The seller should explain why returning to the ordered assembly has a new charge before you compare it with funding their proposed change.

Fair point. I've asked for fulfilment of the original, not an upgrade quote. No answer yet on either that route or the replacement's full drawing.

Did the drawing eventually arrive? I'd be interested in whether the pocket clearance changes the proposed setup, not just whether the new pads can hold the housing.
