I had no issues with the Brookville shell (either of them, don't ask) as far as the shape and fitment to the frame and radiator. However getting the insert to fit and go back into place took me a bit of reshaping with the ball peen hammer. All the work took place behind the insert and is not visble. I got mine at a rod show where they are usually $500 or so for both. It takes a keen eye to tell a Henry from a Brookville or Vintique for my money but I don't have an affinity nor pocketbook for the "real" parts nohow.
