the

did.  
Based on that, I would tend to be wary of the Napa catalog version fitting

>>>I second that emotion.  As far as I know, it's actually more of a 
ZF-specific part, as opposed to Pantera-specific.  But regardless, I 
seriously doubt you'll get the Right Stuff from the corner parts store.

If yours is truly trashed, bite the bullet and buy the Right Stuff from the 
Pantera vendor of your choice (or Roy Butfoy, who I presume also carries 
them?)

Replacing this stuff is NOT a job you want to do multiple times to get 
right!!!!!!!
