Pierce IDA Rebuild Kit Issues?

Has anyone had issues with the IDA rebuild kits offered by Pierce? I purchased 4 of these kits. Their PN#92.3250.05. They can packaged with an exploded diagram of the 48 IDA but the parts are clearly either not for the IDA or not complete.

For example, if you look at the photo, what would the cap screws be for? Also, the squirter gaskets, and the fulcrum screw gasket are missing. Then a bunch of parts that don't seem to fit. It seems like it may be for an IDF. But when I sent them an email, they insist that this kit is for the IDA and I should return them if I am not happy.

Thoughts?

These are my IDA's The layout seems wrong, but maybe I just haven't had them apart for a while... The parts look right though.

i've had great service with Pierce Manifolds. Parts and phone support has been the best.

Those ARE IDA kits. That part # does NOT come with the very small thin copper washers. Reuse what you had or call them for the washers separately. Their are several various IDA rebuild kits sold by various merchants. Some have fewer parts than what is in yours, some come with the float and no Idle mixture screws. The Italian made carbs use copper or brass washers on the squirters, later knock offs (Spain & others) use rubber "O" rings.
The kit you have is for no other carb than an IDA.

OK... I believe that. Some company is putting these together for the IDAs, but what the hell are the three 5mm screws for?

The later carbs use screws instead of studs and nut to secure the top of the carb, maybe for that (if some were lost)?
