*The definition of "match" is intentionally left a little bit fluid, because no two parts will be 100% identical--maybe something got an extra hole somewhere or something like that. I hate to use the "reasonably astute observer" standard but that may need to be what is used.
Define match as "functionally equivalent"
Also, limit the weight of the bag to 200 LBS.
