I received some main bearings today, Vandervell brand.  Does anyone have experience with the brand?  They were received in unusable condition, very beat up apparently due to banging into each other during shipping.  I lightly ran a fingernail accross the scars to get a better sense of the damage, and my nail left a mark.  The material seems very soft.
