I'm picking up a 235 kit soon and called Lancair about the retrofit nose gear strut.  They indicated they would have some available in Feb for about 1K.  In service bulletin #9, dated 2-15-88, it states:

 "This retro fitable assembly is considered a MANDATORY      INSTALLATION...There will be NO charge provided your
  old assembly is returned". When did Lancair start charging $1000 for this MANDATORY retrofit.
Did not Lancair fabricate enough assemblies for all the kits sold, and are they not going to live up to their statement in S/B #9?  Have other builders had to pay this much for the same MANDATORY assembly?

If the answer to these questions means I have to buy an assembly does anyone know of a builder who wants to sell one?
