    its the latnium infused gold particals that they put into the little bits thats in the material where the 4 bolt holes arent.

    Id go check them again twitchy, occasionally their computerised parts system gets screwwy and items are mispriced.

    They were going to ping me $200 for a gasket kit for the zenith carby. a quick no sorry your wrong check it again and a couple of phone calls got me the gasket kit and change out of $40.
