I agree. Sometimes it is just more cost effective to buy it from Cessna. I did this for the very aft tail cone sheet metal on my plane. Yes, I could have made one. But by the time I bought the correct sheet of aluminum, then having to experiment on at least 2 or more test pieces to get the correct compound curve. I decided just to give Cessna the $250.00 for the factory CORRECT part.
