Posted: Sun Mar 25, 2007 6:53 pm Post subject: Slick magneto harness question

I have an I0540-C4B5  engine going on my RV-10 with a Slick 6393 magneto on the left side (lightspeed  ignition on the right side).  I need to get a Slick harness for the  magneto.  The book says I need a M2877, M6029, or a M6027 harness.   

  

 My first question is  how can you tell how long each of the wires are in the above  mentioned harnesses?  Is there a chart anywhere where you can tell the  length of each wire in the harness?  I looked on the Unison (useless) web  site with no luck.

  

 My second question  is that I cannot seem to find any of those harnesses anywhere for sale (at least  online).  Are these old numbers and there are newer ones that replaced  it?

  

 My last  question:  Does anyone else have a similar set up, and if so, what harness  are you using on the left side?  Do the wires route nicely, or are there  some that are a bit longer and need to be doubled over to get the correct  length?

  

 Any help would be  greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Mike:  

   

I can’t answer the first part of your question, but I can the second.  The Unison harnesses have a left side and right side part number independent of the whole part number.  The two sided harness part number is probably something like a M6014.  Unfortunately, you won’t have much luck finding just a left or right side harness.  No distributors that I’m aware of carry them in stock, and Unison has something like a 60 day lead time.  If you need it right away, you’ll have to order a whole harness and then use only the left hand side.

Try Wagaero, I think that's where I got mine.

I had a similar situation, except I used a Bendix mag.  I ordered a 1/2 harness from Skytronics, El Segundo CA, 310-322-6284 or 1-800-421-6846.  I ordered through Aircraft Spruce.  They had me contact Skytronics via phone to make sure the details were right.  Cost was $98 including shipping.

 

 I'd recommend you call Skytronics with your situation and see what they say.  If nothing else, you can run string from your spark plugs to your mag to estimate the required length of each lead.  

 

 Interesting note on customer service... somehow Skytronics sent me a right half harness rather than a left half harness.  ACS and Skytronics corrected the problem with no hassles, even though it was a custom job (they had made my harness to order).
