Glad this worked out Mark. These saddles aren't inexpensive and going through the warranty process with online retailers is a pain. I try to support my LBS' s as best I can. If I buy online I really need to scrutinize whether this is the right part?
Now all you need to do is start the breaking in process all over again. FWIW I have been told that one should only use proofhide once a season.
