I have always found Slick pretty good at answering technical questions anyway,
especially Harry Fenton.

And if you need help from them at Unison by phone, skip it.

You could buy a replacement lead from any of the major and minor distributors
or your friendly FBO.

I have a bad magneto lead and was really just trying to buy a replacement.

I was thinking about writing about the experience I am having with certain
Bendix mags in a Skymaster, two failures at less than 200 hours with internal
nylon and plastic parts melting. (To be fair to Bendix the affected parts are
after market so I really should be mad at ElectroSystems.) I am seriously
considering replacing the AD prone Bendix types with Slicks.

The good old Bendix mags are looking much better to me.

Have never seen this happen on any Slick mag in 20 plus years. Are the screws
properly torqued?

And you know something else? I don't know how many Slick mags I have found
on airplanes with the cap backing off the mag because one or more of the
screws has backed out and fallen out of it. It's happened to me with my
personal aircraft twice.
