Unavailable? I am starting to believe you. OK, I got lazy/impatient and ordered one from Amazon... and got a due date further out than "two days". OK, but ten days later still in "label printed" status, not handed over to a carrier. Then I dug deeper, the "sold by" vendor has a horrible reputation, most customers experiencing the same thing as in they sold the item, printed a label, never shipped and never arrived. And the same seller name has a horrible reputation for doing the same thing on Ebay. OK, I ordered another one from another "sold by" yesterday. Shipped ASAP. This AM, already in transit from Baltimore MD which is 30 miles away, so I figure I'll have it in a day or two. I check again, and nine hours later it's in Davenport, FL... 900 miles away! I am starting to suspect either these parts simply do not exist, or someone does not want me to have one. And my project is stalled, I do not want to install the BB (so I can start checking on chain line, etc.) until I drill the shell and install this. Sheesh. Well, it gives me time to check my tap-n-die set and make sure I have M5x0.8mm, and also figure out what size pilot drilled is used before tapping.
