[NRVR-Members] What are folks doing for buying new motor casing hardware now days?

[Thomas Tweeks Weeks]

Thanks guys.. Appreciate the offers.. I think I will eventually buy my own 75mm hardware, but for now, I think going with single use is:
1) in line with KISS (mechanically assembly wise)and
2) more in line with my pocket book.

:)
