Bracket problems

I ordered a black 8inch stack from FTE diesel. I then ordered a black 8inch silver line bracket off of xtreme diesel. When I went to put the bracket over my stack I could close the bracket with my hand and it was about a 1/2 inch to big. I measured my stack and it is 8inches. I was wondering if you have heard this before or what. I had to cut and weld the bracket smaller to make it fit my stack. Still looks nice and works great. I wish I could give you the part number to check but I deleted my email. I might have the invoice at home some where I will double check.

Thanks....Matt
