2 prong Prier socket?

I recently ordered a bunch of new prier sockets for foil and the bigger of the two seems to be smaller than the ones that I had preiviously purchased. Are these not standardized anymore. What should I do?

Quality control appears to be gone. This is not only a Prieur issue. At a Worlds, Uhlmann was selling connectors that had the same problem. From their (Far East) supplier one whole batch was drilled to about 3.5 instead of 4.

There are 2 solutions, send them back or drill them out to 4 mm. The small should be 3 mm. No matter what you do, let whomever you bought them from know about the problem and let them know what would happen in the future.

Hopefully they will let the manufacturer know, but also check their own stock and fix the problem.
