I got them, they both had to be redrilled to match the holes on the engine itself. Bit ****house considering how expensive they are. they look quite good, but if you consider the fact that once the hoses are on they will basically not be visible, they're not worth the money. Unless yours are rusted and busted..

Never had a problem with mine... But I only put the top one on so the bottom one will still work as the sacrificial anode.
