Maybe. But the photos of the ones on the OPGI site looked different and were not e-coated. The ones I received look more like the ones that Ames carries. Ames states this on them:
*QUALITY: FAIR OUTER LIP NEEDS RE-CONTOURING FOR TIGHT FIT.*

That is true but they fit even worse in the lower rear sections.
It will be easier for me to make my own grafts to repair what rusted away on mine than it would be to modify these off-shore made repros.
