Many parts will come up NLA, but I heard a rumor that someone was going to start making them.

Cuda is right I heard there is going to be a company making aftermarket parts for TRS but the drive housings will no longer be available.

I don't know why anyone would start making replacement parts without offering the housings as well. 2 years ago my drives needed attention and I wanted to do it right, so I started looking for replacement lowers and came up with nothing. Everything inside the drives was easily obtainable but I ended up using the same lowers over and they look like ****. In fact, I'm suprised they're still holding together due to the corrosion around the prop shaft threads. It seems to me, if somebody started making "affordable" replacement parts for these, they would do a pretty good buisiness.
