Aw ... Man!? Am I going to have to make *that*, too???
Seriously: even though I'm making a lot of things for the
COZY that others are buying from Brock (if they can ever
deliver) - including my nosewheel fork (I don't like any
of the "weldment" solutions) - I was really hoping to use
the CCI mount because it seemed to be a well-done of-the-
shelf solution.
Also, I don't understand this excuse I keep hearing re:
4130 scarcity. I just talked to my rep at Capitol Metals
(which is related to Industrial Pipe and Steel. of Burbank, CA) and he told me he had 1/2" 4130 tube "in stock".

His last email to me was that he was doing one a week and mine was forth in line. That was six weeks ago!! It is holding up my plane now. Hope he comes through for us all.

> Has anyone on this list actually received an engine mount from CCI? I am trying to figure out how to move my project forward in the engine mount department so I can get into the fun stuff like exhaust and cooling. I ordered a mount from CCI in August last year subsequent to being quoted a 6 week lead time. In Novemeber, CCI stated they had one more to finish before starting on mine, now this week I am told it will be another 4 to 6 weeks. With respect to delivery, every communication from CCI has been grossly wrong so I can not belive the latest 4 to 6 week info is credible.

> Does anyone have any business experience with CCI in the last 6 months that is different than what I have decsribed? Has anyone on this list actually ordered and recieved a mount in the last 6 months? Should I wait another 6 weeks or look for another alternative?
