We also discovered that we need more dies to do some of the other pipes as well.

For the cast pieces, we got samples to check and found some inaccuracies with several of them. Those have been fixed and sent back to get redone. This means that the molds had to get re-worked so that the parts will be in spec. That was a few weeks ago and things are back on track.
