Yeah, add 5x the cost just so you can get a a Certificate of Conformity, that’s the aerospace industry! Waay back in time, like early 90’s I worked for a small aircraft repair station. I remember going to pick up hardware from the local distributor and thinking,”Holy moly, $80 for 3 bolts?!”. Nothing special about the bolts, just standard NAS hardware, but the paperwork was the clincher. I’m not sure how that relates to tooling, but I’m sure there’s a premium there too. Funny🤪
I don’t own a Nomad, but your upgrade makes me want one, very cool indeed!
