Heh, my Standard Airworthiness ASH-26E engine uses mostly stuff from
the auto parts and hardware stores. This per the maintenance manual,
so perhaps that makes them TSO....

But only the finest European motorcycle, automobile, and chainsaw (!)
suppliers. And blessed by German engineers who drink only the purest
beer.

I do get worried by done of this. If an A&P really just does not have
their head screwed on properly to be dealing with this I really worry
wether they ought to be working on sailplanes. They may well do but it
just raises some alarm bells about how much they know/work on gliders.
OTOH maybe it's somebody in a FSDO being silly wanting 337 paperwork for
something most FSDOs would wonder why an A&P is bothering them with
paperwork for.

Sigh.
