Investigate, but do not commit to CJM unless they give you a guaranteed delivery date and price. They are well known for delays in delivery and an abysmal warranty, along with high prices.
But once you finally get them they work fine.

I used the Dave Brown mechanical retracts on mine. I had to turn them 90 degrees but they worked flawlessly and fit perfect into the nacelles with some modifications.

[b]You said "Dave Brown," or maybe "D-B." Is it possible you meant B-D retracts? The B-D (lesser known as "Brown Derby) are good quality and iexpensive.
