Different clamp, but same principle.

Yeah I think I finally figured that out as well.  I was already stressing when I saw the lyc clamps were $1600 or so, but then I see the ones for the tsio360 are “only” ~$700. Unfortunately they aren’t in stock, so the price seems irrelevant.

Your new plane might already have a riveted clamp, if it was overhauled 200 hours ago. Unless the logbooks show the clamp part number installed, you'd have to look at the one on the plane to verify.

The TSIO-360 K model clamp part number is 670105. Air Power is currently showing it estimated available 1/13/2025 for $830. I have one ordered and fingers crossed it ships, because my turbo is headed out for rebuild.

Yeah I believe it should be a riveted one.  I read through that AD a few times and it still appears that you must verify when it was new and how many hours are on it to let it go 500 hours.  I’m hoping to find that in the OH documentation.  If you’re just doing the 100hr/6 month inspection on an unknown vintage clamp, then the AD seems to say you’re unable to continue that past this July.
