Kit of Parts Problems

Last night, our team met and we went through the kit of parts and looked at everything.

We've run into a problem, I think. We are missing a good amount of the parts that were supposed to be included in the kit. I also realize that we are supposed to be receiving parts via mail in the near future, so I wanted to just list everything we're missing and bounce it off you all - so I know what to call FIRST about and what to wait for in the mail.

So, we are missing -

Control System
Plastic Shield for 25 pin connector (Not too important, I know)
Quick-Disconnect Power Connector
10' #6 AWG Wire, Red

Fasteners
Helical Plastic Wire Wrap (1/4" diameter)
Helical Plastic Wire Wrap (1/2" diameter)

Motors and Pumps
Van Door Motor - Bosch

Instead, it seems we received 2 of Chiaphua motors and 2 of their matching gears. I need verification that we are not supposed to have two of these.

We also received an orange 'torque motor,' but we're not sure of the manufacturer, and we can't find it on the list of kit parts. What is this, and are we supposed to have it?

Pulleys
The entire bag, containing:
Bushing (for CMT Pulleys) (4)
Alum. timing pulley - 20 tooth
Plastic timing pulley - 30 tooth
Plastic timing pulley - 60 tooth

Springs
Constant Force Spring, Small - we only received 1

Wheels
6" diameter wheelchair wheel

As you can see, we're missing quite a bit. I didn't include the revolving light, since I know that's supposed to be shipped. What else should I expect, and what am I missing entirely!?!?
