Adapter plate failed !!!

Re: Adapter plate failed !!!

Hi Eddie and it's good to hear you and Fred worked out the problem. I drove by Friday on my motorcycle but could see you folks were busy with installing the prop so moved on. Loose that goofy DeWalt starter.

I've got a B&C starter (http://www.bandc.aero/continentalsta...mebuilt-1.aspx) and small 12A alternator (http://www.bandc.aero/alternator12am...tlessgear.aspx) on my plane. You guys go have a look and take some measurements to see if it'll fit your engine. I have the alternator paperwork if Fred needs a copy. There's some machining that needs to be done for the starter installation as explained on B&C's webpage. I have the paperwork for that as well. At the very least a starter and battery should be installed for floats. You could either charge it with your truck or small solar panel.

No real machining, you just have to cut off the pilot for the old pull type starter clutch. Alot easier if the rear case is removed.

Re: Adapter plate failed !!!

Yes I expect they can, providing there's some support to prove the hub 3745 is Continental in origin: http://www.aircraft-specialties.com/...Conditions.pdf

Which is why I asked in #68, 70, and 78 above how do we determine the source of the part given some offered by others are apparently available? Are Continental hubs marked and traceable?

Not arguing here and maybe there's a simple answer.

Gary

I have never seen a fake hub. Pretty certain the originals are not marked, but have not looked at one in awhile. I would call Doug on paperwork but I am assuming his description for with or without paperwork only means no paperwork provided on homebuilt installations.
