O.K. With the new seat belts on order and the pending order of the
carpet, wall kit, and seat covers, the last 2 items are the headliner and the window surround plastic. The headliner is in good shape with only a slight variation in the color here and there. I will do the "Kiwi shoe polish trick" for that. Last part (aside from painting the seat frames) is the plastic. Yes, I already looked at Plane Plastics and Vantage. Totally, absolutely, criminally outrageous pricing. Ten buck parts selling for two hundred dollars. Even with the "airplane" surcharge, an entire Piper remake should only cost about $200. There ain't any certification, tracking, insurance, or other "excuse" for these prices. Any other suppliers out there that are not smoking crack? If not, I will take them out, repair the one or 2 cracks, paint them, and put 'em back in. 5 hours labor, 1 $4 can of white plastic spray paint, a dab of epoxy, and a couple dozen new chrome #6 screws and finishing washers. Even if I price my time at $100/hour, it is still WAY less expensive than what these pirates want. Thanks, Mike __________________________________________________ _____________________________ Posted Via Uncensored-News.Com - Accounts Starting At $6.95 - http://www.uncensored-news.com The Worlds Uncensored News Source |
