Well it’s not a FAA AD yet. Anyone know if there’s a NPRM for it yet?

Not yet. It's probably just a matter of time if EASA has already adopted a standard method of compliance and applicability.

Out of 10 G102 and 103 in the clubs nearby, 2 needed their elevator rods to be replaced.

We had a Twin Astir fail too. LTB Lindner no longer requires the old
part to be sent back to them. I gave them the model and serial
number, and they were able to supply a new part. They ran my
credit card last Friday (31 Jul) and shipped it UPS Express. I got it
this morning (3 Aug). They are now shut down for summer vacation
for the next 3 weeks, but otherwise, I have found them to be quite
responsive. I don't know if i would have been able to get the part
any faster if it had come from a USA dealer/factory.

Linder has been very responsive everytime I have dealt with them, and shipping is pretty quick. Unfortunately, like you said, they are closed for about he next month. So my ship is out of commission now until they open back up and i can order the part from them . Bad timing.
