Magneto Cores

Im looking for a set of magneto cores to return after purchasing a Slick package..

Either a pair of Slicks or Bendix 4 cylinder units will do as long as they are capable of being rebuilt.

I'll be honest I dont want to pay a great deal for them.

Many Thanks

Re: Crankshaft Cad plating

Hi Tony,

Thanks I may do that. I know that Aircraft Specialties Services in the US offer the facility, but was hoping that there would be a similar company here?

Re: Continental C series crankcase modification

I would think it's not difficult to do provided you can obtain the design drawings. Any old school engineering machine shop could do it, mine included. :) Phil, That's what I was expecting.. you can obtain all the required information here.. http://www.if1airracing.com/images/Documents/IF1_Technica...

I am chasing an oil leak that appears to be on the join of the crank casing, lower section where the intake spider bolts to the case.
