C3 - Scarborough Faire

52K531 and 53K531 appear to be identical parts, at least functionally the same. No idea why the part number changed between 1500 and 1500 Suppliment SPL's.

Notice: Studs procured from Moss Motors in summer of 2022 were soft steel (not properly hardened), and stripped the thread when tightening with normal torque.
