Sorry, Sean, I don't quite understand you. All our engines now have a starter mounting which is specially designed to hold the FOD screen mesh. If a customer was operating without the FOD screen he'd have to take the starter motor off as well - unless he ripped the mesh out of the holder, which would seem an odd thing to do - so it's most unlikely that any recent Wren would be operated without a FOD screen.

We do, however, have older engines out there with the pod-on-legs style of starter, and we will repair them if they have a FOD problem - or any other problem.

You said that manufacturers don't care whether you get FOD or not. That isn't true, we do care, as witness the fact that we have a properly designed screen fitted as standard to all current engines.
