as they say.. when you assume you make an ass out of u and me...

I didn't "assume" anything.

Hence all those questions.

You purchased the part. You verify it. Man up!

I don't understand people who choose to go their own way and then ask for help after they get lost and then get all whiny about it expecting someone else to fix the problem they themselves created.
You are one of many on this forum.

The wiser decision would be to ask before buying instead of after!
