Generator attached to propeller gov oil line

[Mooney-Shiner]

Dear esteemed board, 

I would like to seek your opinion on something.  During my engine inspection, I noticed the rear of generator is attached to the prop governor oil line. Additionally, there is no rubber sleeve and its a metal on metal contact. I looked through the IPC for IO-360A1A and didn't see this kind of attachment.  Has anyone seen this kind of set up before?

I think it’s more of the Generator being a support rather than the Oil Line being the support But either way my E didn’t have anything off the generator to hold the oil line

While looking for that solution...

Also keep in mind that a fire sleeve on the oil line is probably a standard of today...

No fire sleeve but I seem to remember an AD to replace the original steel line to Stainless Steel

Here is the AD (90-04-06)   Change from aluminum B nuts to steel and to steel crank case AN fittings OR Type D flexible line with steel fittings and steel crank case fittings

I don't think there'd be an issue putting a cushion on that adel clamp.

This is my concern as well. There is a metal-on-metal contact between vibrating part (generator) and oil-line. I'm worrying that there is a potential for rupture and fire in-flight. Plus, I would like to confirm that this is a correct set up, as Lycoming IPC is showing something way different.

I am really not sure what you are referring to... Is there additional bracket attached to Item 1 of the IPC (aft bracket) holding the oil tube?

I can confirm that my 67F has same setup as shown on Lycoming IPC.

On mine, it seems that the rear of generator attached to the prop oil line vs engine block.
