I received this email from Vans this afternoon. Attached was the general list of parts that may be LCP (not specific to my kit-that will be coming soon). All I have so far is the tail kit for the -14 and it appears that the majority of parts were manufactured in the April-June 2023 time frame. I did not check every part, but I took a close look at several parts that were on the list and designated in red. If these parts were laser drilled, I couldn't tell it. They looked perfect. I'm in the laser engraving business and I know what a laser cut hole looks like, but this is aluminum so I'm not sure. They look punched to me.
So, since Vans doesn't know if a particular part was laser drilled or punched, how would I know if the part is good? I really do not want (for my sake and Vans) to ask for parts I don't need and then wait for months to get them. This project needs to get back on track.
