Paul It's not a matter if YC is supplying them for free or not. It's getting them to respond to our orders and get the parts out. The last set that I had to order took 6 months by the time it got to my doorstep. There is no excuse for that. As I see it, the handwriting is on the wall for YC and supplying these brackets. They have already taken a pretty big hit for all of the free parts they've had to provide, plus the labor services paid in the past. It all adds up, and guess what, there are plenty more which are going to need this repair. Given the down economy and how all businesses cutting back anywhere they can, it wouldn't surprised in the bit if the YC bean-counters eventually pulls the plug on providing the free brackets offer altogether.
