Try Grainger if the HID situation involves a bulb only. I had a bulb go bad
but ballast worked fine; a GE HID bulb with the old ballast works with the
old holder. The LED stuff I found required a complete rework of the LL
fixture and tip area.

| Subject: | B&C Starter with Plane Power alternator - need bracket |
Anyone know if there is an off the shelf bracket that fits between the B&C lightweight
starter and the 60A PP alternator?
I'm installing the B&C starter during the upgrade to the panel, and the original
steel bracket is nowhere close to fitting.
Thanks in advance

Hi Les
I prefer a quadrant as you can have simultaneous access to all the controls easier
without having to take your hand off one control to the next as in a vernier
setup.
I have my quadrant on the panel with the Aerosport interior as that was the only
option at the time. I would prefer the controls to be on the tunnel in the center
console just like in the Cirrus, as that is a more natural position for
your hand and also gives you more real estate on the panel for other purposes.
Warm regards
Patrick

I had the same problem. Neither of the links B&C provides will work. I ended up
bending the Plane Power link (only slightly) and drilling a new 5/16 hole effectively
shortening the link. I inserted the long bolt from behind with some wet
torque seal on the end to mark the place to drill the new hole. Hope this
helps.

I had to fabricate a new bracket from 4130 to fit my B&C/ Plane Power alternator.
Very simple wrt my installation.
