You can thank your FAA for that. In order to rebuild and certify aircraft parts the requirements for a shop are intolerable. My cousin would do the best job you could pay for but he would have to completely change his shop setup. The OH shop would have to be contained in it's own separate environment and all parts would have to have cetification and be kept separate from any non-certified parts and hardware - this includes screws, washers, etc. I agree with him that this is too much trouble to go to for a part time activity. Given the necessary changes, etc. it wouldn't pencil out for the consumer. He would have to charge the same as any shop. We haven't even addressed the insurance requirements. Sorry to get your hopes up. On the other hand, if the owner didn't care about an 8313 or whatever it is, it might be a different story. jim
