Hi Bob,
I have an engine with the Bendix dual magneto. It came without P-leads,
so I=99m wondering whether they are something I can fabricate or
if I will need to purchase them complete?
Best regards,
John.

John,
You can build your own - but I'm not aware of anyone other than TCM (Continental
owns the Bendix magneto line) that makes the individual parts. To get an idea
what's involved, the Service Manual for your magneto will be here, listed by
model number:
http://www.continentalmotors.aero/support/maintenance-manuals.aspx#ignition
The p-lead parts are called terminal kits in the manual. The how-to should be in
section 9, the parts in section 11. Be sure to watch model number/part numbers
and "usable on" codes to make sure you get the right part numbers.
Aircraft Spruce sells the terminal kits for about US$75 each. The kit consists
of the nut, stepped bushing, insulator, and a washer.
Aside from a bit of soldering they aren't that difficult to assemble. Care must
be taken to keep the overall length of the terminal within the parameters specified.
Too long or too short and you may not get good contact.
OR -
Bogert makes pre-made p-leads for about US$80 each depending on length:

They're available thru Bogert direct or thru Spruce. Bendix p-leads come in two
varieties (hex nut and round nut) and the round nut variety comes in two different
lengths. Watch the video at the bottom of the Bogert web site. Make sure
the version you order matches the model number of your magneto.
Regards,
Chuck
