Thanks Duane,

My thoughts exactly. However, this particular Ford engineer is really resistant to change. God forbid he'd actually have to do some work or improve on the design intent. Incidentally, we have a GM engineer that refuses to allow us the bonus tolerance on all MMC hole call outs on another part but will not change the print either. Today's engineers, I ask you what cracker jack box did these guys fall out of? Thanks again for your time.

Patiently struggling here,
