Repeat slowly and carefully after me:

The owner or operator of an aircraft is allowed to manufacture parts
for
his/her own aircraft. Say it again. Understand that you do not have
to
have your hand on the drill press or CNC buttons. The FAA is satisfied
that
you take a drawing down to your local machine shop and oversee their
manufacture of your part. Or you can make it yourself, your choice.

Now, say it one more time...

You're an A&P with inspection authorization, aren't you? Please cite
the
FAR. I think I know which one you're talking about but it seems you'd
be
more authoritative by referring to the book.

The torque
arm however was a nine inch long, $1600 item for something that any
competent machine shop would make from scratch for $40 in material
and
a $150 in labor and CNC machine time - Piper's price is big time
rape!
Steve, the mechanic, was really po'd at Piper over this part... He
finally found a serviceable part from a wrecked plane that met the AD
and was available for 50% of new, so we went that route...

My only question? Why are some links blue, and some purple?

Well, now, if you ain't just a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks. I figured
that authority was somewhere in Part 23.
