"1 set".

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Inspect condition of parts and correctness of size and application before attempting installation.
It is the responsibility of the customer/installer to verify the correctness of the size and application of all parts before installation. Accordingly, please follow these guidelines when you receive your parts:
Before opening the package, check for accuracy by matching the part number on the box with the part number on the invoice or packing slip. If it matches please proceed, otherwise contact us immediately.
In the event the product needs to be returned, the box must be in good shape to return and restock. Carefully open the box taking care not to damage the parts or the packaging and keep the box.
Inspect the parts for apparent damage and missing items. If no apparent damage and missing items are found please proceed, otherwise contact us immediately.
Mock up or lay out the assembly of the item on a clean soft surface to avoid damage to the parts. Make sure the parts received are what you actually want before proceeding to install. If unsure, contact us immediately. Otherwise, once installation is attempted, the parts are no longer unused, uninstalled, and in resalable condition.
