Just because it is not strictly enforced does not mean the rule is useless. Gracious professionalism - follow the rules even when no one is watching.

Are motors that were just attached to other pieces considered fabricated?
If the motor was not purchased attached, then it is fabricated. You can have extra motors outside the hold back for spares, but they must be just the motor with changes allowed by R13-D.

To piggy back on this, how are the COTS rules interpreted with respect to gearboxes? My assumption is that an assembled versa planetary is not COTS because you can't buy them assembled, but a PG71 with motor is COTS, regardless of whether or not we bought the motor and gearbox separately because it is possible to buy them together?
If you can buy it pre-assembled, then it is COTS. No different between sheet of metal and chassis.

IMHO, it is hard to have an assembled gearbox not be Fabricated because it usually requires attaching a motor. The gearbox with a motor are the exception.
