Evening gents, I plan to replace the hose that attaches to the induction air system with a fresh sceet duct. Does anybody know the diameter? I couldn't find it in the IPC. Many thanks, Martin

Thanks - it helped!

Thanks - sounds good, will try it.

Evening gents, trying to mount the magneto cover (the one carrying the harness) onto the magneto. There’s very little clearance between the magneto cover and the firewall, which makes it difficult to align the harness grommets with the outlet towers. On top of that, the brand-new harness grommets fit very tightly into the distributor block towers, so it takes a bit of pressure to get the cover fully seated. Is there a trick for this? For example, can the harness cover be slid back off the harness so the grommets can be "pressed" individually into the outlet towers, and then the metal cover slid back into place over the magneto block? Many thanks, Martin

Here u go:

It’s 1mm thickness. Still got the old tray (that served as model). Can take some measures tonight, if that helps. Can take some measures if that helps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks!

Thanks Skip, makes sense!

Hello everybody, revinging this thread. Reading the service instruction M20-120, it seems as if sealant is only to be applied on the rubber-screen gasket (I guess both sides), not on the gasket that is in contact with the engine itself. Why is that so? Only because the rubber is more prone to leaks than the paper gasket? Many thanks, Martin

Evening everybody, installing an AL12-P70 on a IO-360A3B6D. Not shure whether the spacer that is in the bracket hole is installed at the right position. The only installation manual that I found looked confusing. Both belt pulleys (alternator and the one on the crankshaft) seem only to align only when the spacer is installed at the indicated position. Can somebody comment whether this is as intended/correct? Many thanks, Martin

Perfect, thanks Skip!

Evening all, It seems there is no specified direction of flow for this oil cooler. I’d like to get confirmation. Unfortunately, Aero Classics does not provide details on this. Could someone confirm whether it is bi-directional, and possibly point me to an official publication or documentation that states this? Many thanks, Martin

Gents, does anyone know the correct inner diameter of the crush washer for the M-113 CHT probe on an IO-360 A3B6D? I think it’s 3/8, but I’m not sure. I’m not in the hangar to check and need to order. Many thanks, Martin

Morning everybody, I’m trying to understand how the gear-warning microswitch on the throttle cable works on a J. I expected a groove in the cable that would deflect the switch arm and open/close a circuit, but that doesn’t seem to be the case since the cable appears smooth. There’s a small wheel/roll on the switch arm — but how does it measure the cable’s deflection? Thanks, Martin
