is US Millworks still around?

I emailed them asking about a longer bolt to make my F80 plate mount work on the F97. Twice. No response.

Then, after digging on their website, I found that they do sell the bolts themselves, too. Ordered it on Thursday. Got the paypal email, but radio silence from them.

Anyone know what their deal is?

I think I have an M3 problem.

No idea, but I did just order a new one for my F80. Came in a little over a week. Maybe they've had to pare down staff since COVID started? Maybe having a tough time keeping up with emails? :

Yeah, just got a response from them. It took them 2 weeks to respond to an email, and 1 week to ship an order.

The product quality is great (well, was great -- we'll see what arrives), but the buying experience is crap.

So fwiw, received the bolt. They don't list the X3M on their site as option, just the X3 M40. The bolt is ~ 1/4" too short to clear the fascia with the license plate on it. I'll try popping a washer into the hole behind it to push it out a bit, and see if that does it.
