Hi Steve, the Bendix mags have only been on<br />
the engine about 75 hours. There hasn’t been any problems with them at all. I had to pull the engine back in early May and sent it to Georgia to get overhauled. They can’t call it an overhaul unless the mags get overhauled as so they’ll be zero time again. I did put tempest spark plugs in when the new mags went on and have been very happy with them. I also put them in a 172 that I fly.

<p>Thanks Mark! Currently the left mag is an Eiseman and the right mag is a borrowed Bendix, because the Eiseman packed up. I’m looking at the Slick conversion kit K4334, but trying to find a kit with mags that aren’t subjected to to a service bulletin. how long since you fitted the Bendix mags? Currently my system is unshielded and the K4334 kit comes with gears, harness and spark plugs.<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Mark said:…</cite></p>
