I haven't been able to find them on the Web.

Never heard of him...

How big is this company?

I have yet to find evidence that they exist. Consequently,
speculation as to their size would be unwarranted.

According to Bradley Aerospace the engine included with the kit
they have up for auction on eBay is a 1600 cc VW aeroconversion
made by metric A/P.

I dunno, Fred.

I wrote to Bradley Aerospace saying that I could not find any
information on metric A/P, and aksed if they could refer me to
a website or at least give me their location, as in city, state, or
country.

Here is BA's reply:

"Metric A/p They have been building my engines for 12 years.
Thank you"

That's it. Why would anyone bother to reply to a request for
information, without providing any information?

It boggles the mind.

Metric Auto Parts & Services
1023 W 8th St, Chico, CA
(530) 345-0074

Well I wrote to BA again through ebay and received a reply
suggested I use their business address (a yahoo address).

So I sent this:


You indicate that a 1600 cc VW aeroconversion
will be included with the kit in the auction.

I have asked, repeatedly, for information about
the manufacturer of the kit. You say they are
metric A/P. I was unable to find any company
by that same and asked some other folks familiar
with homebuilt aircraft and they don't know who
they are either.

I have asked you for more information, but so
far have received nothing.

Obviously I would like to find out more
about them and their engines. At this
point, you haven't even told me what
COUNTRY they are in!

Do you understand?

And received a prompt, one-word reply:

"no"
