I bought the rebuilt one I changed out in N24ZM from Drakes. Nice folks.
 I remember being shocked at the then $600 cost until they told me what a
 new one went for. Seeing as the one in N24ZM didn't make the 500 hr inspe
ction I did talk to TCM about warranty. The reply I got was that the failu
re was considered "normal". After a hung up the phone it was a few days be
fore the pain wore off and I could sit again.

Quality Aircraft sent me a quote of $550.  They get their rebuilt coupling
s from 
rake Air (same company I purchased my "failed unit" from, 254 hours ago).
  I 
uess I will be ordering tomorrow.  ...I feel so used! [Shocked]    I am st
ill 
erplexed how such a simple part cost so much.  The current NEW pricing fro
m TCM 
s $1,997.97.
