I posted this on the other site, but thought I'd try here too incase some of y'all don't read both.
I'd like to get opinions on the Denso Alternator conversion from long-term users. I'm upgrading my TriPacer and will be installing an alternator sooner or later ($$ dependent so will be sooner if Denso...found supply of new alternators for $133/alternator).
I know there are concerns about the use of auto alternators on aircraft, so I'd like to know the following:
1. How many hours on conversion?
2. Any negatives to conversion?
3. Would you do it again?
4. Can I get a copy of your 337?
I like Homer's installation from Andy's site and would like to go that route with the split master. I want to get as many different 337s as possible to take to the FSDO...so that I can hopefully get it signed off without too much trouble. I will get the FSDO's approval before I start buying parts...
Also, read on the Super Cub site that Denso 100211-1690 and 100211-1680 (part # found) are the same part. I'm going to call the factory this week and try and get some paperwork stating they are the same, but if anybody has paperwork stating that, I'd appreciate a copy.
Thanks,
Chad
