With the small guy's I can understand a delay with them, having a reduced workforce and all.
Just something I noticed
And support the homegrown small vendor's like Mike's, Bratton's, Bert's and the other's, or we will be stuck with with only two choices (you know who they are) and their cheap foreign made parts.

Model A parts vendors pretty much sell the same manufactured parts. Rarely is there more than one manufacturer for a given part. While there are more Model A's than other makes of that era, volume is still very small when it comes to profitable manufacturing. Be happy that Snyder's as well as Bratton's and to a lessor degree, Mike's have parts manufactured and then distribute to the smaller companies. Funding tooling can be quite high especially with small sale volume payback.
