>>> At this point I've had standing orders for 17-156DB-01 for more than 4 months, and every time I call the distributors and they call ZG it's "3-4 weeks out". Since the ZG screens will clearly be 3-4 weeks out until after the season is over, its seems I have no choice but to swap the bodywork for something that uses a screen I can get from multiple sources.
