OK, I need some advice. When you get a new boot should the mount ring fit tight in the outside lip of the boot and all the holes line up?
Sorry for this stupid question but I bought one on E BAY and its to big for the ring and the holes are off. My fault trying to save a few bucks and got burned.
Probably China knockoff Paint me Purple and call me stupid.

Holes should line up. The early ones have different hole pattern than later ones

Could it just be mounted upside down? When I replaced mine the new one had "TOP" stamped on it BUT the only way it would fit was upside down, and all the holes lined up perfectly that way.
