I have measured them by placing them on a stone, holding down the ends and putting a feeler gauge under the middle. Some are as much as 8 thou off this way, which is totally unacceptable.

twocik,
I
wish I got harbor freight parallels, maybe they still woulda warped, but I would have been out a bit less money!
You can put a spring between them that will serve a dual purpose. It will straighten them out and it will hold them in place.
You can buy GOOD PARTS or you can buy CHEAP PARTS, but you can't buy GOOD CHEAP PARTS.
