I disagree. Backorders just mean it's not in stock. Maybe one day it will be restocked, maybe it won't.
I don't get why people complain about Drake and what is in stock. If it's not in stock why not move on to another supplier. Why not find a used, original part and actually restore it?
If the grocery store were out of bread would you go home and post on any forum that the store is out of bread? Would you make it yourself? Or would you drive to the next store and buy it, only complaining to your spouse?
