I will jump all over Eric now to get this resolved and GIV into service! Boeing update: I'm facing large delays with Boeing machine shop, my conversation with Boeing repair, the holes are not lining up with airframe engine mount for #2 engine, with New machined parts that were fabricated. In the past, parts are taken from old 8727 that are being parted out in the Dessert, however, the engine mount we are having issues with are all custom drilled when aircraft is assembled at the factory. Message from Boeing repair: Larry, Not sure when test flight will happen yet, we are trying to get the forward mount completed. The holes on the replacement mount did not line up so we are having to change the angles that attach to it as well. One was available the other we are having a T extrusion milled down. We had no choice as we could not find an undrilled mount. We tried two different ones and they just would not line up. We have changed a few of these over the years and never had the holes this far off, typically we could just oversize them.
