Of course, i'm always happy to share.

Hahaha, I'm pretty sure mixing up ball vs cone seats is a rite of passage for all auto mechanics. I've done it too. Especially after they've been on and off a few time, bastards look identical unless you really really look close. But getting the seat completely on the wrong side.... sigh.
