TransGo separator plate slugs very loose fit
I went to put the slugs in the separator plate and found they were really loose as if they can fall out The directions say to hammer them in. Even on a dirty filthy dusty concrete floor. Of course common sense kicks in and I use a clean workbench surface. Is TransGo out of their mind🤪. No offense I really have bad feelings about their products. Here are some pics look for the green magic marker that I pointed out

You aren't really hammering them in, but smashing them somewhat so they expand. They are soft aluminum and will mushroom over to hold in place.
