Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2017 10:17 am Post subject: Ordering Specs for Rebuilt Mags (not electronic ignition)

I have a bit over 800 hours and 5.5 years on my Slicks and am ready to 

replace with a 'new' set of rebuilt units.  They are operating just fine 

but I'm thinking it's a good thing to do at this point.



I have a stock Lycoming/Vans IO-540-D4A5



Can anyone share the ordering information for replacements?  Best sources?



I was looking a ACS and elsewhere and it seems there are multiple part 

numbers used in multiple places.  Just trying to cut through the paper 

storm without getting smart first.



BTW, I did get versed in teardown and maintenance when I did the 

excessive point wear SB at 100 hours.  I'm choosing to replace.



Thanks

Most of the usual suppliers of aircraft parts will stock overhauled mags. However, if you choose to stay with Slick, as opposed to Bendix, I would strongly consider the price delta for new Slick. Looks like extra $250-300 for a new mag over rebuilt. The irony is that overhauled Bendix mags look to be less money than overhauled Slick.

Understand. Keep in mind that IO-540s were built with Bendix mags long before conglomerate takeover of Lycoming forced the switch to Slick. Nothing wrong with Slicks that more frequent maintenance won't handle.

       I want to replace them with 'rebuilt' Slick mags and not       'overhauled' Slick mags.  And I intend to get a 'core credit' for       exchanging my old ones.
