oh no, is this 8.75 housing too bad?

Great, so basically I got a cone SG 3.23 and carrier, which given the state of everything else now I'm not sure will run at all or not, a set of axles and bearings that are probably junk from being run with no seals and in a questionable housing, and a housing that is probably junk as well. And some backing plates and ebrake cables. For $1150 plus the gas and time it took to drive back and forth to Tennessee in a rented truck 14 hours. Awesome.

Have you tried contacting the seller? If he's honest he should do what he can to make things right
