I installed the Aeroflash combo unit in my rudder and had to trim the flange
around the housing holding the bulbs to match the rudder and used a Whelen
retainer ring (the Aeroflash units come with a large round flange). The initial
installation would flash intermittently, gradually deteriorating to fewer
flashes before crapping out all together. A new power supply from Aeroflash
(great customer service) did not cure the problem, but a new strobe worked
correctly before I trimmed the flange again and installed into the rudder, which
now
exhibits the original intermittent flashing. There is about 4 feet of wiring
from the power supply (mounted under emp fairing) and the bulb, with one
five-pin amp connector on the end of a short pigtail from the lamp unit. All wiring
has been triple-checked.
Anyone else run into this or can explain why "carefully" trimming the flange
would cause this failure?

Hi guys,
Most of you are probably at Oshkosh,
Mr Messinger's reference to the TP45 ignition module for the Subaru distributor
has referenced alternatives. I'd like to know if there's any difference between
the TP45 control module by Echlin and the alternatives
by SMP- LX301, BWD- CBE4, Niehoff- DR400, Filko- DR300, Wells- DR100, KEM- E200
or the GP version EL102. These all are a 4-pin GM control module listed
alternative, but the price goes from $10.48 each to $38.00 each.
Are they all equal?
I want to build up a dual dizzy setup per Paul Messinger's article but wondered
about this.
