I don't expect that anyone does, since (as far as I know) this is the first year we're allowed to use stroke lengths greater than 12" but less than 24". That's why I went into panic mode.

For what it's worth, I just dug through the source code of the order form, and it looks like right now, if you order a cylinder with a stroke of 12"-19", you'll get a 12", and 20"-24" will get you a 24". Maybe they never intended to provide the intermediate lengths in the first place, since they've never done it before, but then I don't know why they would list them and then send something else. It's pretty hard to complain about free things that would otherwise be pretty expensive, but I hope there aren't any other teams who were designing around that part being available.

At least we're getting ours. Thanks for your help, Jim and Bimba.
