They have an Astron VS-12M for about $90. This is a variable voltage, 12 amp supply, with built in meters. Good for testing low voltage warning circuits etc. 12 amps seemed large enough to test RV circuits(comments).They also had numerous other models/sizes/mfgs both variable and 13.8vdc.

I did cut out a 3/4'" pice of mahogany to act as a deflector to keep the strips from shining in my eyes. Tha left 2" and the lights use up most of that leftover space. Another inch or so would have done it and the more ya have the better the slant angle of the lights. I am sure there is a point where one can make it a guillotine during a poor landing.. Ha ha . E mail me directly and I will send ya a pic or two of my panel and light set up.

The modification on the existing alternator was to cut away half of the wide mounting boss on the alternator and insert a spacer on the back side to move the alternator forward to line up the pulleys. Would like to replace this alternator with an automotive type Nippondenso and use the brackets I have. So my questions are; 1. Does anybody know if there is a Nippondenso alternator that will fit the lycoming case mounted bracket? If so what is the part number? 2. Does anybody know of someone who makes case mounted brackets like the one that ASAS sells for the boss mount? 3. Counting on having to make my own bracket, what alternator would be recomended?

They will change all the defective parts and make it run like new. Tell them you want the best bearings and best whatever you want. Some will balance the rotating parts if you ask for it. You will not have to change brakets and/or alternator frame and it will run like new Rino ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 03:04:51 PM PST US From: Charles Brame Subject: AeroElectric-List: RE: Radio antenna for CD player --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Charles Brame RAZZMATAZZ, an award winning RV-6A out of Tampa (can't remember the owner's name) has a rubber ducky antenna mounted at the bottom right on the engine side of the firewall for a AM/FM/CD player. He used a through bulkhead B&C connector to mount the antenna. It is simple, cheap, and invisible and he reports it has outstanding reception despite its horizontal orientation.

Consider that you can hear an 8 watt transmitter in another aircraft that's over 100 miles away, and the effective radiated power of most broadcast stations is measured in tens of thousands of watts.

I know that I need Molex 1917-T pins so I searched the AeroElectric archives. There it was, back in July of 2003 you posted a link for the pins and plug. Problem solved......except the link no longer works :<( Do you have an updated source for these pins? I did a hasty Google search and came up empty handed. Any help would be greatly appreciated sir. Jeff p.s. - here are the old links http://216.55.140.222/Mfgr_Data/Molex/Molex_5559b.pdf http://216.55.140.222/Mfgr_Data/Molex/Molex_5558_Pins.pdf ________________________________ Message 13 ____________________________________ Time: 08:19:21 PM PST US From: "Jim Jewell" Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: Alternator Replacement --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Jim Jewell" Hi Brian, Another thing to consider, If you want higher amperage output from that alternator, they might / should be able to change out the winding etc. to meet your needs.
