Re: The Blue Goose
The sections between the holes are part of the sheet metal stamping and should be left as is. The area surrounding each hole is usually distorted from overtightening the bolts, so these should be carefully hammered back flat again. Check the flanges with a good straightedge, they should be flat front to back and side to side.
Can't say about the return. In most cases, once a gasket package seal is broken, they are yours forever. Won't hurt to try to return it, sometimes those guys have a heart. Good luck.
