Ha - I'll bet those tack welded pipes were the mock up I sent him!

      Guys,

      I contacted Clinton at Custom Aircraft Parts.  Turns out he was just
      going through his warehouse a week ago and came across a set of tack
      welded pipes for a IO-360 Velocity.  He sent me pics, and it looks
      like they will work.  So, I may have a set pretty quick.

      Does anyone have any experience swapping wings b/w Velocities?  If I
      could find a set of normal SE wings and swap out my 173 wings?  Does
      anyone have a set of SE wings kicking around?  173 wings are
      essentially XL wings, right?  If so, perhaps there's someone out
      there building an XL who would like a set of fully completed wings
      and I could just buy a set of fast build wings from the factory.  If
      I got 15kts out of swapping wings, I'd do it.

      Geoff
