We have been producing the 1948-1950 Ford Gauge restoration kits for about 5 years now and have never had a complaint.
I was lurking in another group, when I started seeing complaints about a very well known dealers decal kit. Wanting to help the guy, so I offered to exchanged the Dennis Carpenter kit free of charge. I requested that he send me his incorrect kit so I could do a video. This is what we found out when I got it. In short not all parts are created equal. Both LMC, Dennis Carpenter, and C&J Ford parts where wrong.
