Hi Simon,
We're having a birthday celebration with the whole family this evening so I have been on and off. Just took a look at the computer, and noticed your last.
It's very well packed, rest assured. However, it is packed and in the car so I can no longer provide a picture. But, yes, it's long. I estimate 2.25 to 2.5 plus inches from the flange to the bell. I'm 99% certain it's a TBM issue--Almost candy-apple red in color.
I'll keep you posted on the shipment status. It will travel on Monday.
Have a good rest of the week end
Tony
