I think the Fitment maybe down to the maintenance of the tooling recieved from innocenti causing mishaping and contour issues :cry:

they cant be from the same presses - the sharks teeth area is in completely the wrong position in relation to the rest of the leggies

will have to try the side runners on some leggies before purchase to confirm they are ok - i just cant understand why they were made so far out - the pressing is otherwise good
