Inner Tube for Shinn/Firestone wheel 6C5HB

"Harry Fenton, the A65 guru, writes, “The only magnetos that bolt up to the A-65 are models 4302, 4230, 4330 and 4333. There are some military surplus magnetos, model 4220, that are sold cheap and claimed to fit the A-65, but they do not.…"
Replacing Bendix SF4-RN8 mags with SLICK 4333
Has anyone preplaced the old Bendix SF4 mags on their CP-65 with SLICK 4333 mags?It appears that spacers are required between the accessory case and mag to accommodate the required impulse coupler. I welcome any and all information or comments on the conversion process and parts required.See More

- You emailed me photos of the radio cluster, about 3 years ago, that I still have. The FAA in New England is so useless for approving changes to aircraft certified under CAR 3, 3A, and 4, that I was thinking of mounting a MicroAir transponder and an encoder in a box that I could temporarily install in my Collegiate and then mount the antenna on the belly with a light gage sheetmetal groundplane above the fabric. Is your encoder's static line just open to the inside of the wing?
