Just an update/info for those in need.

I just ordered a new hood insert from Merlin (mine had a slight crack, the usual issue...) North American inventory shows 3 remaining after my order. I ordered it on Friday, and will have it tomorrow (Tuesday). 3 days from order to delivered? Not bad... not bad at all.....

I know after those 3 are gone we'll still be able to order a new one however, the wait for that will be 6 - 8 weeks.

Just fyi.
