Tim,
Although having a fool-proof part is the way to go, the fuel lube solution w
orks well but needs care to install.
If you can't fit the redesigned cushions in your installation, I would not h
esitate to use fuel lube.
Do not archive.

Not sure if the cushions had anything to do with the engine miss or not.

I poked around and found Lyc Service Instruction 1299B. It has p/ns,
pictures, applicability, yada yada. I'm not sure if they work on all
Lycomings but the SI gives SN ranges. --D

Hi Bruce, wow, that is great news. That is exactly how they should have
worked all along, i think. The only drawback is that they may be more
prone to gas leakage in this position if you store the airplane with the
doors closed. However, i think it's worth the benefits.
